Laís Ribeiro
Lais Ribeiro? Oh, she’s got that electricity. Born and raised on the gritty edges of São Paulo, this woman’s got stories in her veins. She’s not just running around with a camera, either—she’s a producer, director, screenwriter, the whole chaotic creative package. She’s the type who can juggle a no-budget indie that feels raw and alive, then turn around and bring that same edge to the big dogs: Warner Bros Discovery, Netflix, Globoplay... you name it, she’s probably pitched to them (or told them off, who knows).
Her projects? Honestly, they don’t sit still. You’ll find her fingerprints all over the place. She’s obsessed with characters who don’t fit into neat little boxes—people on the margins, the overlooked, the hungry, the wild ones. She digs deep, pulling out stories that hit you where it hurts and then make you laugh about it five minutes later. No two scripts of hers feel the same, but you can always spot her voice—bold, a little bit irreverent, but always chasing something real.
And she’s a connector, too. Lais thrives in that creative chaos, pulling together teams that shouldn’t work but somehow do, mixing first-timers with industry vets, letting sparks fly. Her sets? Total mayhem in the best way. People walk out changed, or at least with a new nickname. She’s just getting started, and honestly, if you haven’t watched her work yet, you’re sleeping on something wild.
