 EDUARDO MACHADO is a Brazilian writer, producer, and director based in NYC. His multidisciplinary background in film and music enriches his creative approach, creating a cohesive and refreshing directorial voice that captures coming-of-age stories with a strong musical identity. A filmmaker, storyteller, and musical artist at heart, he often collaborates with musical artists to create inventive experiences. His work explores personal independence, belonging, cultural identity, and coming-of-age in the 20s.

His films screened around the world and have won several awards, such as an Audience Award at NFFTY 2026, the Grand Jury Award at The New ScreenFest, and Best Student film in the Tokyo International Film Festival. In 2024 he programmed the “7 Curtas Film Festival” where he presented works from the most prestigious Brazilian film schools.

He continues to explore his roots in his next film, “São Paulo, New York,” a semi-autobiographical story of an international student caught between cities, cultures, and ideas of success. It premiered at NFFTY and will screen next at HollyShorts and the Nashville International Film Festival.

Eduardo graduated from the New School with honors in Screen Studies and will begin his MFA at Columbia School of the Arts in Fall 2026.
