    SAO PAULO, Brazil --

    ARRI Inc. is opening a new subsidiary in São Paulo, Brazil. Centrally located on Avenida Ibirapuera in Moema, São Paulo, the facility will offer camera maintenance, technical support, software upgrades, as well as training and workshops for the ARRI cameras and Pro Camera Accessories.

    Said ARRI Inc.’s director of Latin America sales, Wilson Zeferino: “Latin America is a growing market for ARRI. We’re committed to this region and we hope to continue the success of our ALEXA XT, ALEXA Mini and AMIRA cameras here. By opening a service facility in São Paulo we are closer to our customers, so it’s much easier to offer training, warranty service, maintenance and general support to Brazil and all other countries in the region.”

    Mario Jannini, ARRI Brazil technical service director noted, “ARRI Brazil will be the mark of a new era.”

    Through the launch of this facility, ARRI continues to show support and commitment to the Latin American region. Repairs can now be performed in São Paulo by trained ARRI technicians with no need to ship equipment abroad. This added convenience keeps costs down and provides speedy resolution for camera performance issues not only for Brazilian customers, but also for customers in neighboring countries.

This had a kind of energy and the kind of physicality and sensuality that I thought, "Who does this? I gotta see this guy." And then I had a wonderful experience in "The Lighthouse" and I played a part that was really fun in "The Northman."
