Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, Maju majored in Business while doing several independent courses in Film. A Cinephile since birth, she started her career in Sales at an Online Payments company, eventually moving on to Film Distribution because she wanted to sell something she truly loved and believed in. She is proud to have distributed "Boy And The World", the first Latin film ever to be nominated for Best Animated Feature (which of course lost to a Disney flick). She then worked in the Distribution hub of O2 Filmes, the biggest production company in Brazil and home to her favorite Brazilian film ever: "City of God" Having relocated first to Vancouver, Canada, she continued doing International Sales now of North-American content and travelled to most major markets such as MIP, Cannes, Discop, Ventana Sur, Berlin then finally Frontieres in Montreal where she met Patrick and started her path towards the Epic Family! On her free time she enjoys hiking, biking, yoga, snowboarding, watching infinite hours of film and TV and exploring her Foodie obsession with finding weird, yet tasty eats. Favorite Movie: Too many! Most recently: Melancholia and The Great Beauty (an Italian masterpiece!) Favorite TV Show: Friends, Gilmore Girls, Sopranos, Mad Men (in chronological order with my life!)
