Marcelo is passionate about his craft, always studying, developing his skills and on the lookout for new technologies. This passion took him to Europe to understand how the Eurovision Song Contest was produced. This trip helped him discover and bring back to the USA, CuePilot, a software that organizes the communication between the Director, AD, TD, audio, lighting and screens via TC. It is an excellent tool used in over 16 countries in Europe, and he is the first director to use it in the Americas. Never one to stop creating, he is currently in the process of producing and directing two documentaries. Marcelo Gama, a creative mind always at work.
