ROCKYX 4 nominations and an Award for Best Supporting Actor at the Third Edition of the Teachers Film Festival, November 2008

There is life outside the corporation!

OK, some of you already knew it, the others can’t believe it…

I, a “corporate animal” for over 12 years now, have started becoming aware that there is life outside of my firm, especially since I became one of the Elumni (Erudio-Alumni) and started playing, along with some of my colleagues from this Association, on the stage and in front of the cameras.

I had the support of some special people, lecturers and colleagues from Erudio, we wrote scripts, we produced shows and movies, we acted them for colleagues and friends, and most of all we acted them with the greatest pleasure. We had incredible and true experiences which completed our personality and made us closed to each other as we performed this labor of love which made us become friends. Applause, congratulations, admiration and amazement of those who only knew us as business professionals of multinationals beautifully completed our lives and satisfied us completely.

And on top of all this came the recognition of professionals from show-biz, through awards for our accomplishments which we received during the TFF, in each of its three editions so far. My supporting role in Rocky X was considered the best and awarded because of one very simple thing: I never for one second thought of an award when I took the part, I was just myself, Mista’ Rudi, Rocky’s most sincere and devoted admirer. And I played nice, for my friends worked on the movie with me, and for you.

We are a team of people from the business environment who found, with great pleasure, that there’s life outside of our corporations, and that, given enthusiasm and dedication, it is truly exquisite!
