Picture
At Paul McCartney's concert in the devastated Midwest of Brazil the stage was invaded by a thousands of grasshoppers attracted by the light.  What happened to them was a fantastic transformation. This amazing story is told through the perspective of the grasshoppers.

​I was born in Brazil, 
I studied communication and started making documentaries films, must of them about environmental and social issues.
I worked for many years in Amazon region, where I made two feature film documentaries.
I also shot in India, Laos, Bhutan and South America.

I'm currently living in southeast Brazil, where I own and manage a small reserve of Atlantic Forest biome and work as scriptwriter.

Director Lia Reis
Director Statement - Grasshopper is my first experience with animation movie.
I was at that Paul McCartney concert in the Midwest of Brazil, where the stage was taken by thousands of grasshoppers.  I really wanted to tell this story because it was directly related to the devastation of the Brazilian Cerrado biome and I also wanted to express my gratitude to Paul McCartney's extraordinary music which has been the soundtrack of my entire life

AniFab judge's aggregate score for Grasshopper is 7.2 out of 10 with one judge writing, "This is a fun, entertaining and informative film. When the grasshoppers arrived at the arena and we first heard the music it gave me a chill! The animation was colorful, fun and engaging and the timing was well done."
