Brazil, 1996.
Once upon a time, in a family of dentists a filmmaker was born. By 7 years old, Amanda had already persuaded her friends and pretty much the whole family to act in her movies. While "normal" kids would play with cars and dolls, she preferred the rocks from the garden, after all she is much more fun having to imagine their faces, as well as categorize their age based on their sizes.
Now the whole family is supportive of her art. Granpa is a taylor and costume designer and her mother her has worked on vampires 'and werewolves' protheses for the actors.
