Biography

Luis began his career as a news photographer, working for years as a staff member at VEJA, Brazil's largest weekly news magazine. He then transitioned to filmmaking and received a grant to pursue an MFA in writing and directing at Columbia University in New York. His short film Child's Play won the best film award at the Columbia University Film Festival, along with several other honors. While in New York, he produced the indie Latino feature film Washington Heights, directed by Alfredo de Villa and released by Mac Releasing and Lions Gate.

In 2012, he co-wrote, co-directed, and produced The Performance, a TV feature for TV Cultura in Brazil, which was the first Brazilian film selected for competition at FIPA in Biarritz. In 2015, he wrote, directed, and produced If God Comes Let Him Bring a Gun, which is available on Amazon Prime in the US.

Luis has received development funding from the Audiovisual Sector Fund for three new projects currently in development and financing: Animal Family, a children's preschool animated series co-created and written by him in collaboration with Mono Entretenimento; He Who Shoots Also Dies, a 13-episode crime series where he serves as writer and writing team supervisor; and Married to Crime, a feature film about three women escaping a Brazilian penitentiary, which won an IBERMEDIA award. Additionally, his feature script adaptation of Dostoyevsky's White Nights received the SPCINE (São Paulo Film Agency) doctoring award.
