The Company
Apoteótica Cinematográfica is a rising production company set in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, that puts effort in trying to broaden the range of LGBTQ+ culture and representation. With a history of gay and lesbian themed short-length films and now a debut feature, the company now seeks support or partners to co-produce its upcoming feature film projects, participate in international script labs and career mentorship.
A bit of our career: "The Nature of Invisible Things" (2025) and "The Beads" (2023), Apoteótica's co-productions, were selected for the prestigious Berlinale. "Desires of the Flesh" (2018) was selected for the Official Competition of Sundance Film Festival. "Floozy Suzy" (2015) won the award for Best Director at Mix Brasil and "The Fugitives" (2007) won the award for Best Screenplay at the same festival. Together, Apoteótica's shorts were shown on several continents, in more than one hundred festivals.
The two partners, Otavio Chamorro and Rafaela Camelo, are also developing their careers by specializing in screenwriting series fiction – one hour dramas and thirty minutes comedies and dramadies. Both of them have written projects and screenplays in such formats and are negotiating with TV channels and other screening platforms to produce their work. The urge to lead a production company came from the need to lean their focus towards the ambition not only to create and write films and series but also to be directors or showrunners of their original projects, always with a unique point of view, as well as being part of writers’ rooms and direction teams of projects that relate to their work.
