| BIO - Roberto Jabor
Like many Brazilian independent directors, Roberto started out working in video back in the 1980’s. Video, a relatively cheap format, allowed him to experiment and develop his own style without having to be concerned with the market. After cutting his teeth in the underground, his work drew national and international attention. He directed two successful soap opera’s for Globo TV in Brazil, and became Artistic Director for the Cisneros TV Group in Miami. He’s received many awards for his filmmaking both in Brazil and abroad. Roberto takes much of his inspiration from fantastic and classic horror narratives. His short films bring to mind Edgar Allan Poe, Guy de Maupassant, Andre Gide and Caio Abreu. He specializes in using every facet of film production -- from lighting to art direction and soundtrack -- to create a signature dark style far from the mainstream. His work has been compared to Pedro Almodovar, John Waters and Paul Morrissey. Others see reminders of the landmark style of the Brazilian production company Atlantida. Roberto is a highly regarded acting coach who teaches acting and directing workshops throughout Brazil and abroad. He’s developed several co-productions for the US Spanish language market. He is presently in pre-production on his first English-language feature film, with others in the works. His most recent effort “RGB” was a collaboration with directors in Thailand and Croatia produced by Unique Entertainment. The film was an Official Selection at the 2005 New York Independent Film Festival.

America actor Jim Verraros (“Eating Out”)and Canadian actress Emily Holmes ("Snakes on a Plain") will take part in the forthcoming USA film, "Copacabana, of Love and Shadows."

Brazilian actors, Luciano Szafir(“Nightmare Man”, Mariz Garcez (”The Machine”)and Gabriel Canella ("O Profeta" TV Series) were also confirmed to take part in the English-speaking motion picture. Roberto Jabor, the awarded Brazilian director, will direct "Copacabana, of Love and Shadows" from his own script. The film will be executive-produced by Alex Massis for The Film Source, a Florida-based production and sales company, which will also handle all rights. This will be Jabor's first full-length film and the 14th for Alex Massis who executive produced, among others, "Circle of Iron" starring David Karadin, "Sellout" with Oliver Reed, "The Traveler" directed by the Oscar-awarded Moshe Mizrahi, The Japanese movie, "A Boy and a Camel ," and "Promised Lands,“ a feature documentary directed by Susan Sontag. Roberto Jabor summarized the "Copacabana" story: "When a handsome and wealthy English artist meets a Brazilian street kid, it looks like a match made in heaven. Maybe it is, but not if the drag queen that haunts both their pasts has anything to say about it."
