Feature documentary (under development)
Brazil - USA - France - Portugal, 2022
The “dual nature of light” is a physics theory explaining light’s propagation as both particles and waves. Filmed across Brazil, the US, France, and Portugal, this documentary uses that concept to reflect on a world where 1.5 billion people lack access to electricity. Combining poetic and scientific language, it weaves symbolic devices and a hybrid style — character-driven narrative and vérité — with a personal first-person voiceover that complements the investigative thread.
