São Paulo, Brazil --(SPW)--
Right after hosting an incredibly successful “Brazilian Directors Showcase” at the Viceroy Hotel in Los Angeles in March, FilmBrazil hit Austin for the SXSW Interactive Festival 2016. A highlight of the week was a premiere of the feature film “Jules and Dolores,” from Prodigo Films; the O2 Films Panel: “Immersive Content: The Future of Storytelling”; and Brazil Night.
FilmBrazil once again brought to the U.S. some of the very best work from the most talented production, animation, and branded content companies, including: Academia de Films, Barry Company, Hungry Man Brazil, Lobo, O2 Filmes, Prodigo Films, Trator, Zohar, Clan VFX. Agencies that attended the showcase in Los Angeles included: Los Angeles-based 72&Sunny, Deutsch, and David & Goliath, as well as Anomaly/NY, BBDO/NY, DDB/Chicago, Leo Burnett/Chicago, Wieden & Kennedy/Portland, Richards Group/Dallas, and The Community/Miami.
FilmBrazil’s trip to the U.S. in March was particularly timely as we move towards the 2016 Summer Olympics, hosted in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this year.
