Cainã de Paulo
Born 2005-01-03 · João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil
Cainã de Paulo is a Brazilian screenwriter and director passionate about the art of film. Deeply influenced by the underground filmmaking of José Mojica Marins and Sam Raimi, as well as the narrative experiments in the works of David Lynch and Rogério Sganzerla. He delves into multiple genres, from horror to comedy and science fiction. His passion for film flourished during his childhood, as he grew up reading comic books and watching movies at backyard screenings. At the age of nineteen, he wrote and directed his first feature film “When The Blood Flows” with his writing and directing partner Pedro Valle, with whom he opened "CHUVA ESCURA" an independent production company to open up space for emerging filmmakers.
