Rodrigo Teixeira

Rodrigo Teixeira, born September 19, 1973, right in the crazy heart of Rio de Janeiro. This guy’s a heavyweight in the film production scene—seriously, if you’ve seen “Call Me by Your Name,” you’re already familiar with his vibe. That whole blend of lush scenery, aching romance, and raw, honest performances? Yeah, Rodrigo’s fingerprints are all over it. But he’s not just a one-movie wonder. “The VVitch: A New-England Folktale” is another notch on his belt, and let’s be real, that film creeped out a whole generation. Moody forests, Puritanical dread, a goat with some serious attitude—Teixeira loves stories that get under your skin and stick around in your head long after the credits roll. He’s not afraid to take risks, either. Like, take “I’m Still Here” (2024)—he backs projects that don’t exactly play it safe. The guy just has a knack for spotting scripts that are a little off-center, a little weird, but totally hypnotic. Seems like he’s always hunting for the next thing that’ll make people sit up and actually feel something, whether it’s discomfort, nostalgia, or just straight-up awe. Rodrigo’s career isn’t about pumping out blockbusters; it’s about chasing down films with heart and teeth. The dude’s got an eye for talent and a radar for stories that matter, and honestly, he’s one of the reasons indie cinema keeps surprising us.
