Direction
Jorge Camarotti
Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Jorge began his artistic career at an high school in visual arts at 14 years old. As soon as his studies were completed, he began a career in advertising and then worked in photography. In 2003, he moved to Montreal where he learned English and French simultaneously.
In 2011, he wrote and produced his first short film, 165 Days, which will be selected from more than 350 submissions to the Toronto BravoFact contest. He decided to develop his acting skills to reinforce his approach as a director. It was then that he designed one of his most recent projects, Kinship, produced by François Delisle and Maxime Bernard (Films 53/12), with the support of SODEC and the NFB.
