ANINGA Studio is a non-profit creative space that amplifies diverse voices through advocacy and storytelling, with a focus on social impact.
After more than a decade developing social impact narratives and co-founding a free mentoring project aimed at promoting the professional growth of young people from peripheral communities and socioeconomically vulnerable regions in Brazil, in 2024 I brought all my initiatives under the umbrella of this organization. Through ANINGA, I will continue to advocate for social justice, grassroots education movements, and a more diverse industry with more plural storytelling.
At ANINGA Studio, we are driven by three key initiatives:
ANINGA Advocacy – Our advocacy and communication arm focuses on demonstrating how diverse perspectives lead to innovative storytelling that resonates with global audiences.
ANINGA Lab – Dedicated to professional development, ANINGA Lab equips underrepresented talent with the tools and opportunities needed to innovate and thrive in the competitive film industry.
ANINGA Stories – Our storytelling and production arm, where diverse voices create original, captivating narratives that inspire and engage broader audiences.
Meaning: ANINGA is named after a plant from the tropical forests of South America, known for its large leaves, deep roots, and role in maintaining ecological balance. As a bioindicator, it identifies areas needing care and filters pollutants, symbolizing our commitment to nurturing diverse storytelling and contributing to a balanced ecosystem in the arts.
