Juliana Capelini

Juliana Capelini’s been hustling in the Brazilian TV and film scene for over a decade, seriously racking up some wild credits along the way. She’s the brains behind a bunch of stuff you’ve probably heard of—or at least stumbled across flipping channels at 2 a.m. As an executive producer, she’s teamed up with pretty much every major production house in Brazil. Think TV series, docs, feature films... the whole nine yards. Remember “Julie and The Phantoms”? Yeah, that kids’ live-action series for Nickelodeon and TV Band? Emmy nominee in 2012, which is nothing to sneeze at. Then there’s “Sitio do Picapau Amarelo”—the first season of the animated series for TV Globo and Cartoon. That thing’s basically a Brazilian classic at this point. She also threw her hat into the international ring with “Doggy Day School,” a Brazilian-Canadian co-production that aired on Nickelodeon LA, TV Cultura, and TV Ontario. So, not just local fame—she’s got global chops. And let’s not forget “DPA – Detetives do Prédio Azul.” The live-action series for TV Gloob is a hit with kids who love a good mystery, and Capelini didn’t stop at the small screen. She took those pint-sized detectives to the big screen, producing “DPA – Detetives do Prédio Azul – The Movie” in 2017. Oh, and she’s got documentary cred too, with “Terra Prometida” for TV Cultura. Basically, if it’s on Brazilian TV and kids love it, odds are Capelini’s fingerprints are all over it.
