Hello, everyone! My name is Daniel Maciel, and I am a Brazilian screenwriter, producer, and director. I have directed several short films and an indie horror feature titled Conexão com o Mal (Evil Connection).
I studied screenwriting and audiovisual dramaturgy at the University of São Paulo. I have worked on various projects, including Mais Forte que o Mundo (Stronger Than the World), a film about MMA fighter José Aldo.
Recently, I directed and produced the indie horror feature Conexão com o Mal, which has won several awards, such as Best Film, Best Horror Film, and Best Indie Film, at festivals in Germany, Italy, Romania, and the USA.
Currently, I am translating the script for Conexão com o Mal (Evil Connection) to sell to the North American market for a potential remake. Additionally, I am preparing to direct my new project, Ruídos Silenciosos (Silent Noises), a documentary about noise pollution and hearing impairment.
I want to build a network to translate and promote my screenplays and services internationally and establish partnerships with producers interested in co-producing projects in Brazil.
It’s a pleasure to be here with you.

Hi, Maurice
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing these resources! I truly appreciate your support regarding Conexão com o Mal and its recent awards.
Yesterday, I came across the post “Coffee & Content: Traits You Need to Succeed in the Entertainment Business” on Stage 32. I wasn’t familiar with this channel before, but I absolutely loved it! When I have more time, I plan to explore more of their videos and content.
I’ll definitely check out the blogs and the Virtual Global Film & TV Production Summit you mentioned. They sound like fantastic opportunities for networking and growth.
Thanks again for thinking of me, and I hope we stay connected!
Best regards,

Hello, thank you for the warm welcome. "Vamo pra cima!" (In Brazil, it’s slang for moving forward, haha).
