Cláudio Assis
He was born in Caruaru, in the state of Pernambuco, and went to Recife, the state's capital, when he was 17. There, he started to attend for Economics and Communication studies, but he felt "totally incompatible" with its structure. After working as assistant in some production, he went to direct his own short films: Padre Henrique - Um Crime Político (1987), Soneto do Desmantelo Blue (1993), Viva o Cinema (1996), and Texas Hotel (1999).
