João Caetano Feyer is one of the most highly regarded, young, up and
coming directors of Brazil's new generation. Born in 1978, in
Pernambuco, Brazil, he began his career at 21 years of age working as
an assistant director to the world-renowned cult Brazilian film
director Julio Bressane. After a few years as an AD, João Caetano
kicked off his own directing career, devoting the next couple of years
to both advertising and his own personal fiction projects, including
his short "Balada Das Duas Mocinhas de Botafogo" based on a poem by
famed bossa-nova musician Vinicius de Moraes. The film garnered the
young director many awards, including "Best Film" at the 2006 AXN Latin
American Short Film Festival, beating out 550 other films to be chosen
by the TV channel's more than 11 million viewers. While working at
Mixer, one of Latin America's largest production companies, João
Caetano won a bronze lion at the coveted Cannes Advertising Festival.
He now directs commercials for Hungryman, a prestigious production
company with offices around the globe.
