Director Statement

Grasshopper is my first experience with animation movie.
I was at that Paul McCartney concert in the midwest of Brazil, where the stage was taken by thousands of grasshoppers.
I really wanted to tell this story because it was directly related to the devastation of the brazilian Cerrado biome and I also wanted to express my gratitute to Paul McCartney's extraordinary music which has been the soundtrack of my entire life
