Erik Avilez was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and after graduating in Universidade Federal do Espirito Santo (UFES) in Cinema & Audiovisual Studies, he moved to Florida to pursue a Film Production MFA in Full Sail University.
"The Other Daughter" is his directorial debut after multiple zero-budget student projects.
I have been a teacher for 16 years, since way before I decided to work in film. During that time, I had the opportunity to teach kids and teens. Seeing them facing the external pressures for perfection made a huge impact on me, as I revisited my own childhood and that of those who grew up with me.
From those memories and observations, "The Other Daughter" was born - or, more precisely, "came to be". The film aims to make the audiences just as aware of their experiences--both under said pressure and exerting it themselves.
