LUIZ ARAUJO
"I turn life into stories, and stories into legacies — because living is narrating with purpose."
WHO I AM
I'm a young filmmaker balancing sharp vision with personal vulnerability.
My films don’t just entertain — they confront, question, and linger.
I want every scene to feel lived, real, and unforgettable.
