Roberto Ferreira has a large background in the arts and entertainment. As a young man in Brazil, he went from professional dancer, actor and singer to directing movies and plays. Being part of the feature film, “The Emerald Forest” Roberto says: “By watching John Boorman very closely and all the production that surrounded him, very early I knew what I had to do in life: tell stories through films. I was also extremely lucky to work with creative geniuses, such as Joãosinho Trinta, Mauricio Sherman, Grande Othelo and Lennie Dale back in Brazil”.
Moving to the United States 14 years ago, he ended up in Los Angeles in 2006 where he launched his own Web Design company, creating web commercials and web episodes for a versatile client base.
In 2009 Roberto enrolled in the UCLA Certificate Program for Directing, where he is giving all his focus and attention to the creative energy he carries with him.
Most recently, Roberto’s first short film, “A Different Kind of Humor”, which he wrote, directed and co-produced, is ready for the film festival circuit. “Continuity”, Roberto’s second movie as a director, has already won an Honorable Mention at the "Los Angeles Reel Film Festival" and has just been accepted to the "Beverly Hills Short Film Festival". “Wesley”, which will be Roberto's first feature film, is in the post-production stages, as well as "Stoned High", a web series Roberto created.
Besides Roberto’s passion for Cinema, his background in dance and voice, as well as his hobbies of painting and photography, give him a unique and well-rounded aesthetic for his artistic interpretation of the human condition.
