ONE OF BRAZIL’S
MOST TALENTED FILMMAKERS, HUMBERTO ROSA
Humberto
Rosa has loved film since he was a kid in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and now that
he is fully immersed in the business and art of the film world, he loves it
even more. He is a multi-talented and multi-hyphenate player in the movie
industry. Humberto is
Producer/writer/Director/Editor/Composer/Cinematographer/Actor and all around
nice guy. He actually has IMDB credits for all these artistic craft
specializations.
He
has twenty directing credits so far and he has helmed Feature films, TV films
TV series, Documentaries and short films. He has over 25 producing credits to
his name, which include feature films, shorts TV movies and documentaries. Oh
gosh…he only has fourteen credits for editing. He’s done short films, TV
movies, a feature film Invoke, and a
documentary. This guy is like a young Orson Wells!
Did
we mention that Humberto also has writing credits? Well, he does – nine of
them. He wrote the story for a feature film and he also wrote the story for the documentary Travelling sem Destino, the TV series Contos e Desencontras and several short
films including, Doce Paris, Catador de Sonhos, Ruim de Cama
and Relampago.
Do
you know why you usually only see one or two people’s names as producer in the
credits of a movie? Because it is very hard work, that’s why. A producer has to
keep track of literally everything, from the cast and crew to the money to
locations, meals for everyone and hotel rooms among about a thousand other
things. And being a director takes just about the same amount of organizational
abilities – keeping track of the story, the shots, what’s next, etc., etc. Can
you imagine having to do both jobs on one movie? It would be very hard for most
of us, but Humberto makes it look like a cakewalk.
Humberto
was the Executive Producer and co-director of the feature film Invoked. It was shot in Ireland over
four days. Some people might call that a grueling shoot but we call it first
rate efficiency and organization. The producer and director, both of whom were
Humberto, had to know what they (he) were/was doing in order to get all the
shots necessary so they wouldn’t have to come back and re-shoot any scene. Invoked has already made back its
production costs and Humberto can put another gold star by name because once
again, he was successful. Did we mention that he also wrote the story for the
movie’s screenplay?
