Jonathan Rodrigues
Director·b. 1986·Doutor Camargo, Paraná, Brazil
12 horror credits
A SOV (Shot On Video) cinema enthusiast, heavily inspired by the great Brazilian SOV artist Petter Baiestorf. Previously just a film enthusiast, film collector and occasional writer, he began filming with the encouragement of his nephew during the isolation of the Covid-19 pandemic, when they released The Incredibly Distracted Killer (2021), which already dictated the main characteristics of his work, a cinema focused on fun, made with a zero budget.
The following year he also produced The Sexual Torture Chamber of Doctor Josefel (2022), which began the work of editing collages, which would yield some of his most famous films, such as A Brief History of Porn Cinema with Bela Lugosi (2023), Night of Horror in Brazil (2023) and La Lucha Invade el Cine Mexicano (2024). At Midnight I'll Slay My Uncle (2023) marks the first of many partnerships with Petter Baiestorf, which will culminate in the union of both in the production of the anthology Tropical SOV (2025), which brings together traditional and new names in Brazilian SOV.
Born Jonathan Rodrigues Carvalho in 1986 in Doutor Camargo, state of Paraná, he lived in several cities in the states of Paraná and São Paulo until settling in Sarandi, Paraná, a city in the metropolitan region of Maringá, in 2008, when he began college in Software Development, a profession he still works in today, in parallel with film production, which serves as a hobby and therapy, and with no plans to stop.
