Rodrigo Carvalhedo is a queer writer-director, originally from São Luís, a tropical island in Brazil. Carvalhedo writes about characters in search of their authentic selves, typically through the lenses of magical realism while still grounded in personal themes. With a sci-fi novel published at 17 and an academic background that ranges from Engineering, Graphic Design, Writing, and Animation, he brings a variety of skills and experiences into his work. His pilot Enchanted Isle, based on his hometown myths, received the award for Best TV Comedy at the UCLA Screenplay Competition, placed in several contests, and garnered interest from studios. He wrote and directed his first short film, Wishful Thinking, to share with his family as his real-life coming-out letter. The film has accrued international appraisal in festivals.
