Cassiano Prado

This week we have the hugely talented Cassiano Prado providing the guest posts. Originally from São Paulo we first met the film director last year when he kindly took part in our talks series. For anyone not to have checked it out yet then we hugely recommend it but for now enjoy his answers to our regular questions as well as his daily posts starting later today.

What have you got planned this week?

I’ve got lots on at the moment so nothing else other than work. Sorry, pretty boring answer.

What do your parents think you do?

It is still a bit hazy but I can’t blame Mom. Even I can get confused explaining what I do sometimes.

Who do you look like?

It depends… I believe after shoots I look like Ren, from Ren & Stimpy.

What’s your favorite sense?

It would be unfair to pick one.

Tell us something people don’t know about you.

That I’d love to speak Arabic, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Did your education count?

Absolutely. My first two years at University were filled with anthropology and politics classes and were definitely essential for my education. Career wise, I believe my work experiences were more relevant than school. But one can’t go without the other.

What word can you not spell?

Tediousness (Argh!). I can spell it but I don’t like to.

Tell us a good fact

I have the impression people have started to fight for their rights again, in general, like our parent’s generation used to do. I think that’s great.

What is next?

I am finishing off a fun horror treatment for a (very) short film. Hopefully it will be completed before the end of this year.

What is your plan B?

I wouldn’t be too sad running a workshop where I could design and build simple classic furniture myself.
