MY DREAM

Documentaries

This project has won the Webby Awards 2020 - Sports (Video Series & Channels)

Dani Alves has won it all in football (or soccer, if you like).

However, the Barça legend - who happens to be the person with more titles in his sport - still had one dream left. The 'Good Crazy' wanted to play for his childhood club Sao Paulo FC.

Over the course of four months I had the chance to tag along with Dani for the docuseries MY DREAM, a The Players' Tribune production in partnership with Facebook.

This eight-part series directed and edited by me had the fundamental collaboration of the super talented photographer Sam Robles, who acted as Director of Photography. The one and only executive producer Thiago Garcia was the remaining part of this really compact crew who followed Dani Alves in his homecoming.
