I'm Eric, a German-Brazilian queer screenwriter with a background in Psychology.
I first started in Film as a line producer in political documentary films for Jorge Furtado (Silver Berlin Bear and Emmy winner) and Maria Ramos (Golden Calf - Dutch Film Fest) before moving to Germany where I was part of the Film Training for Artists in Exile of Universität der Künste Berlin.
I finished the Master's Program of serialized formats at the Internationale Filmschule (ifs) in Cologne - having classes with Lisa Albert (Mad Men), Matthew Graham (Life on Mars), Hagai Levi (In Treatment) and many others. During my studies, I've dedicated myself to researching the power of true stories in Cinema and TV, and the adaptation genres.
I've been recently honored with the Xposed Queer Film Fund, Queerscope Fund and the Special Jury Mention of Limburg Film Pitch Award to produce my first shortfilm Uncanny Home (2025) with the mentorship of Sara Fazilat (Holy Spider), premiered at Filmfestival Max Ophüls Preis.
Last year I was part of the DFFB/Filmnetzwerk Mentoring Program to work with Julia Grünewald (BKM) on one of my screenplays. Currently, I'm writing my first feature film Brüder auf Zeit with the development fund support of Kuratorium junger deutscher Film and I look forward to collaborating on other projects.
