I worked on 6 films with Walter Salles, 6 with José Padilha, 4 with Daniel Filho, 2 with João Salles (as well as hundreds of commercials) and many more.
One of the missions of the editor is to enter the mindset of the creative masters and translate their artistic vision to the screen. I love to do this exercise as it not only speeds up the process but it also fosters my own creativity to suggest solutions.
Directors and producers I’ve worked with have won all the trophies of the game: Oscars, BAFTAs, Emmys, Globes, Bears, Palmes D’or, and so forth.
Drama, comedy, action, animation, romance… I’ve worked on it all, but nothing gives me more pleasure than walking anonymously into the room and checking whether the people are relating to the ride we are proposing. It makes my day to see the room full of people respond to the emotional cues that the editing proposes, and laughs or cries in unison.
To me, movies are a means of transportation.
JOSÉ PADILHA
Film Director
"I’ve know Felipe for over 20 years. He’s a faithful long time collaborator.
Very few people in the industry are able to conduct the storytelling the way Felipe does. I had the privilege of working with him in many projects and profited a lot from his keen and sharp eye and his extreme sensibility for emotions. The documentaries we worked on have been widely recognized and took part in festivals like Tribeca, Sundance, CPH:DOX, Havana, Rotterdam and many others..."
CARLOS SALDANHA
Director of Ferdinand, Rio and The Ice Age
"I had the pleasure of working with Felipe in the short film Pas-de-Deux, a segment of Rio, I Love You, that I directed. He got me very well recommended by weight names in the Brazilian market and did a beautiful job. Felipe understood my vision and execution with great sensitivity and mastery. I'm sure that anyone who has had the good fortune to have Felipe on board, as editor or consultant, will see his film to its full potential."
WALTER SALLES
Academy Award Nominee,Golden Globe and Berlin's Golden Bear Winner,
Director of "Central Station", "Motorcycle Diaries"and "On The Road"
"I had the pleasure of collaborating with Felipe in several other projects (musical documentaries, fiction projects). I have great admiration for your ability to think a movie, and to re-imagine it from the footage. In the same way, the always original options he proposes for the narrative always surprise me positively. He is a highly committed contributor who helps to empower the projects with which he is involved."
Works remotely or in-house, anywhere in the world.
