    His first film, Awakening City (2016, 100 minutes), was one of the most successful Brazilian films of all times on the festivals circuit, gathering more than 60 official selections worldwide, besides some special screenings and prizes. Impressively, Fernando Ramos had no practical experience at all as a director when he committed to the project, which only had a budget of 15.000 USD. All he had to start with was his extensive knowledge of cinema history as a film buff and critic.
