Production notes:
We have produced Fellipe Fernandes’s films since the beginning of his career as a screenwriter and director. As producers, we seek fruitful work relationships in which we act as creative producers. Rio Doce is a project that we are very proud of. It is also Fellipe’s first feature. We believe in the power of the film mainly based on his work as director and on Okado's performance. Even though this is a challenging time to release and distribute a film, we are excited by the beginning of this journey.
