Brazilian director Duran Sodré begins with curiosity. His films are shaped by close collaboration and an appetite for discovering something he did not expect to find.

His work includes the biographical film “Ashe Versus” and campaigns for Victoria. Formerly one half of directing duo VIRA-LATA, Duran has received recognition from Ciclope, D&AD, the Clios, UKMVA and Cannes Lions.

He started directing and acting in YouTube videos before his teenage years. The urge to make things was there well before anyone thought to call it a career.
