At the age of 20, he opened his own photography studio, Marca X Fotografia, which he produced for fashion and beauty magazines, as well as reporting throughout Brazil. He studied film at New York University. In Milan, he worked for the magazines Cento Cose, Lei, Max Italia, and in Paris, for fashion magazines, combining work as an assistant director and director of photography in film production companies. He has worked as a director of photography for several European agencies and has received awards such as Cannes Lions , Ilford Best European Photography and New York Film Festival . In Russia, he worked with directors such as Yaroslav Chevachevisky. Currently established in Brazil, he develops photography, directing commercials, music videos, shows and TV shows. He recently started his first forays into dramaturgy, in series and feature films. “One of the challenges for those who produce and direct films is to carry out efficient pre-production and planning so that the production does not go out of budget and is completed on time. We will pay special attention to one of the recurring problems in productions, which is the issue of planning, a more boring subject, and that is precisely why it is deficient, as many people skip it”, observes Amati. The director adds that the workshop will be dynamic and new themes may emerge according to the group's demand and that he also intends to deal with the music video. The workshop, like all CCVM activities, is free. Registration: Those interested in participating must send name, contact and resume to contato@ccv-ma.org.br, indicating the name of the workshop in the subject line.
