Vítor Fraga

I began my career in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, studying law. Disillusioned with the legal career, I decided to pursue an acting career. In the following years, I worked as an actor in theater, films and television, gaining sufficient experience to go further into the field. I began to direct theatrical performances, work as a coach of actors, and teach and organize theatrical workshops. Encouraged by friends (filmmakers of repute), I produced and directed my first documentary, "Walter Taylor: The Elegance of Samba" showing the trajectory of the famous samba singer from Rio de Janeiro. With the success of this first documentary, came the opportunity to make my second documentary, "Osmarino Amâncio: The Son of the Forest" telling the story of the struggle of the "forest people" defending the survival of the Amazon forest. The work was selected for the International Film Festival of São Paulo. At the same time, I created a cultural production company, "Titan Productions" which produced music shows, theatrical performances, workshops in various aspects of the arts. In addition, I also provided consulting services to major Brazilian organizations such as CNI - Brazilian National Industry Federation, SESI - Social Service of the industry. I was also active with various social movements such as "Grupo do Morro" as a producer and coordinator of the social-cultural project "Nós da Baixada". In 2015 I closed my production company in Brazil and moved to New York to start a new artistic path.
