Lizzo gets to trademark ‘100% that bitch’

Callum McLennan There are stepping stones to carving out a career as a filmmaker. It frequently involves them creating an idea for a short and perhaps finding collaborators willing to hustle. The first short could reach a small festival. It may get commended. Their next short film reaches a larger festival, with more cache. Bit by bit a reputation is built to a height where, if lucky, they get to develop their first feature.  One such filmmaker who has worked to reach this point is Brazil’s, Rafaela Camelo, selected by Variety as one of 10 Brazilian next gen talents.  Camelo’s “Blood Of My Blood,” is now greenlit to begin shooting later this year. Produced by Brazil’s Moveo Filmes and Apoteótica, Chile’s Pinda Producciones and Vertical Production inn France, it secured funding by winning the Audiovisual Fund for minority co-production of feature films from the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage of Chile, and new director funding from Brazil’s Audiovisual Sectorial Fund (FSA) run by state film-TV agency Ancine, plus backing from the Support Fund DF Culture (FAC).
