Director Gui Pereira's Award-Winning Horror Projects 
Thrilling International Audiences

(March, 2017, Los Angeles, CA) Director Gui Pereira’s horror projects are receiving international attention!  The Brazilian film director has been very active in the horror genre, and has earned several awards for his work.


One of his most recent projects Passage 379 earned multiple awards for him: Best Short Film  and Best Score from the Los Angeles Horror Competition, and other awards from the The International Horror Hotel Film Festival and Spotlight Horror Film Awards.

Passage 379 is the story of Emily, who on her birthday, buys a Wicka book and decides to create a ritual with her friends in order to save a lost soul.

“This short film was inspired by a script that my friend and horror director Jacob Klarkowski wrote back in college. I always loved horror movies but had never directed anything quite in that genre, so I decided to give it a try. I put together a group of very talented actors, and couldn’t be happier with the results.”

Passage 379 should be available for online viewing around the beginning of next month.


Born in Brazil, Gui frequently returns to Sao Paulo to work on film projects. One of his most recent Brazilian projects is 31 Days of Horror, which he created for the Brazilian website ccine10.com.br

The series and its two seasons have attracted over thirty thousand viewers so far, and was nominated for the Best Original Documentarial Series award at the Brazilian Rio Webfest.

Gui has established himself as one of the biggest names in Brazilian Film Industry. As a very young director, he has already worked with the biggest names in Brazil such as Tom Cavalcante, Chitãozinho & Xororó, Jackson Antunes, Françoise Furton and many others. He coordinates his work between Los Angeles and Brazil.

“I’m developing another feature film to start production later in 2017 in the horror genre. Some big names are already attached to it and I can’t wait until start the production! I’ll be releasing more information on that project soon. Besides that, I’m also producing Ryan’s Stockstad’s passion project Eggs which will star Wayne Whitaker and horror muse Lynn Lowry.

We will be bringing you more details on director Gui Pereira’s upcoming exciting horror genre projects very soon!

Producer Sabrina Percario Assembles a Rubust, Growing Slate for 2017 

(Los Angeles, CA -- March, 2017) Producer Sabrina Percario, also an award winning SAG-AFTRA member actress, has assembled an impressive slate for 2017. She now has nine in-production projects, preceded by an astounding twenty-seven completed films, with two more in-development projects!

Her completed films include Julia, a semi-autobiographical film which earned her several awards, including Best Leading Actress from the United International Film Festival, held in New York City last year.

“To me the primary task of a producer is to make sure your film has all the legal documents necessary, such as permits, insurance, deal memos, contracts. 

I believe that to be an exceptional producer you need to be very organized, hire people you worked with before and trust. Communication is essential, and also it is important to be open to learn more, because it's impossible to know everything”


Her current projects include development of the film Subliminal, and the web series DarkTales, on which she is working as a Co-Producer with director Humberto Rosa for Red Line Films, LLC. 



Subliminal is the story of a group of young people who decide to spend their vacations in the mountain countryside. While they expect their vacation to be the best time of their lives, what they didn't expect is that the trip can become their biggest nightmare. Sabrina also has a part in Subliminal!

"From a producer's point of view it is my goal, and responsibility, to maintain a good, proficient process from pre-production through post-production. I believe that good pre-production planning saves a lot of time during the actual production. And, you should always be ready for plan B or C. Being prepared is the key!”



Another project she is developing is In the Search Of which is a continuation of her multi-award winning Julia. She is producing together with Bad Nose Film Company. She is also co-writing with Bella Silverstein (who also appeared in Julia) and Nil Simsek. The logline is: After the last member of her family's death, a girl in her early thirties decides to start a new life with her aunt, who lives in the US, until she faces legal challenges that alter her plans.



And if all of this isn't enough, she is also an international representative for Arquiteto Cinema, a Brazilian production company, representing them in the Los Angeles area.

Since she is making substantial progress with all of her projects in their various stages, there will be much more news to come from producer Sabrina Percario in the near future, stay tuned!
