  • What is Surfing Favela?

Surfing Favela is a documentary made by Crowder-Ruggiero-Bacalini-Ezzaoui 

  • Ok….wow…why so many names?

Surfing Favela is a collaborative work. The film was written and produced by Maria Laura Ruggiero and Tomás Crowder. The direction and photography was in charge of Natalia Bacalini and Maxi Ezzaoui.

  • Who paid for this film?

Surfing Favela was financed by Fuel Tv. The project was one of the ten Finalists of a contest called The Fuel Experiment, sponsored by Fuel Tv and that’s how we got the money to make it.

  • In which Favelas did you shoot?

We shot our movie in Rocinha and Cantagalo, two Favelas or Slums of Rio de Janeiro.
