IN MY CITY: RIO DE JANEIRO
Stevie: WHAT ONE PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR
YOUNGER SELF OR SOMEONE JUST STARTING OUT IN THIS
PROFESSION?
DF: Do what you love no matter what it is. Never give
up, despite the challenges you face and the mistakes
you will make. Believe in yourself, get prepared well for
whatever comes ahead and you will have a good shot.
Stevie: WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THE LMGI & HOW
LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER?
DF: I received the LMGI Award for Outstanding Locations
in a Commercial in 2016. It was a great opportunity to
participate in the ceremony and get to know my fel-
low professionals in the largest movie industry in the
world. This was a great honor and a huge achievement
that I never dreamed of. In 2017, I had the pleasure of
scouting throughout Brazil with Lori Balton for Jungle
Cruise. She invited me to become a member and of-
fered to sponsor me. I am a very proud LMGI member
since then. I would also like to express my enormous
and most sincere gratitude to my parents for showing
me this wonderful path and encouraging me to follow it.
