Programming and Guests
Raul Perez | 02/19
The opening of the week (19/Feb) is Raul Perez, who wrote scripts for the series “Sintonia”, on Netflix, and “Anderson SPIDER Silva”, on Paramount+. Regarding the production focused on the Brazilian MMA fighter, Perez was part of a script room made up of black directors led by director and also screenwriter Marton Olympio (who was previously at AIC).
“Anderson Silva’s story is similar to many other Brazilian stories. It is the journey of formation of a global athlete, a pop icon. But it is also the story of Aunt Edith, Uncle Benedito, Dayane and all those who give us strength and support to win the battles that arise along the way”, he says.
Perez was selected for the Netflix screenwriter development laboratory and the Globo/FLUP Black Narrative Laboratory, both in 2020. He studied Journalism at PUC-SP and the University of Coimbra. He is currently a partner at the production company Mundi and co-founder of Nicho 54, a career development institute for black audiovisual professionals.

The story revolves around Letícia, a pregnant woman who is looking for her child’s father. There are four possibilities, but the reaction of possible parents is the same: the child is not mine because I didn’t come. The film flirts with themes dear to motherhood, such as patriarchy, machismo and paternal abandonment.
