SCENE 01 / TALENT COORDINATION
Talent Coordination
Professional artist management and logistics for productions in Brazil.
Here is how this works in practice. Talent planning manages the logistics of working with on-screen performers, including scheduling, transport, lodging, wardrobe fittings, and on-set management. In Brazil's vast and vibrant production scene — from Globo Studios in Rio de Janeiro to São Paulo's thriving advertising scene and Bahia's culturally rich locations — effective talent planning makes sure performers are prepared, comfortable, and ready when needed, minimizing costly delays.
Here is the short of it. We give talent planning services that handle the logistical demands of managing your cast across production in Brazil. Our team arranges travel, lodging, ground transport, and daily scheduling for performers across São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and beyond, working closely with Brazilian talent agencies and SATED-registered performers to make sure your talent is where they need to be, when they need to be there.

On Location
Talent coordination across the TV Globo telenovela star roster (Fernanda Montenegro + Fernanda Torres + Lima Duarte + Glória Pires), the Wagner Moura / Rodrigo Santoro / Sônia Braga / Alice Braga international-export tier, SATED-RJ + SATED-SP union scales, and the multilingual Portuguese + Spanish + English fluency that Mercosul co-productions require
Here is how this works in practice. Brazilian talent planning compresses a uniquely concentrated star ecosystem into shooting-day reality. TV Globo's Rio operation has trained and platformed nearly each nationally recognised face since 1965, from theatre-and-film matriarch Fernanda Montenegro (Central Station 1998 Best Actress Oscar nominee) to her daughter Fernanda Torres (I'm Still Here 2024 Golden Globe Best Actress Drama winner and Oscar nominee), to telenovela titans Lima Duarte, Glória Pires, Tarcísio Meira, and Antonio Fagundes.
Here is the breakdown. On the ground, our planning team works with the agents handling Sônia Braga (Aquarius, Kiss of the Spider Woman 1985), Alice Braga (City of God, Predators, Queen of the South USA Network), Wagner Moura (Narcos as Pablo Escobar Netflix 2015–2017 global breakout, Elite Squad 2007), Selton Mello (House of Sand, The Year My Parents Went on Vacation, The Clown), Rodrigo Santoro (300 as Xerxes, Love Actually, Westworld, Carandiru, Lost), Lázaro Ramos (Madame Satã), Camila Pitanga, and Bruna Marquezine. Brazilian pop talent (Anitta Funk Carioca global, Pabllo Vittar, Gusttavo Lima sertanejo) routes through separate music-management chains. SATED-RJ and SATED-SP issue union credentials. SindCine covers below-the-line. CLT contracts carry INSS + FGTS + 13º salário per buy-in.
Here is the short of it. In practice talent planning on Brazilian shoots manages a logistical layer that shoots arriving from less concentrated markets miss. Globo Estúdios Jacarepaguá runs steady telenovela production from 1965 — talent openings windows around peak novela arcs need months of lead time. Carnival February (Ash Wednesday timing) sees most A-list talent on the Sambódromo Marquês de Sapucaí (Niemeyer 1984) parade route or Salvador street blocos (Olodum, Ilê Aiyê, Filhos de Gandhy). Openings collapses for two weeks annually.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. On the ground, Festival circuit obligations route through Festival do Rio (since 1999), Mostra São Paulo (since 1977), Festival de Brasília (since 1965 oldest), Festival de Gramado (since 1973. Brazilian Oscars-equivalent Kikito awards), and Cannes Brazilian Pavilion attendance. Global-shoot crew handle for Wagner Moura, Rodrigo Santoro, Alice Braga, and Sônia Braga routes through LA-based agents (CAA, WME, UTA) alongside São Paulo and Rio domestic agents. Visa planning through US, EU, UK, and Mercosul (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile) consular forms. We hold talent floats in BRL, USD, and EUR, manage hotel and ground transport through long-relationship Rio Zona Sul and São Paulo Jardins-district suppliers, and run 24/7 talent on-call response.
