What People Are Saying

“Much more worthwhile than what the mass media produces.”

— Albert Maysles, Legendary Filmmaker

“Passion. It's an energy that Marcelo infuses into every project. His eye for storytelling is like no other, always pushing to get to the heart and soul of a person's truth, and then bringing that truth to life in an exciting, relevant, memorable way.”

— Ellen Buchsbaum Klein, Creative Director at PureRed

“The width and depth of Marcelo’s human experience was his workshop's highlight. He reveals how to tap into our own humanity to seamlessly translate it into strategic storytelling and branding. I felt enlightened.”

— Jack Zafrani, Data Scientist

“Bukin provides a fantastic lesson for life and hymn to humanity.”

— Geneva International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights

“Marcelo is dedicated to his craft, open to collaboration, level-headed under pressure, and an absolute pleasure to be around. All the traits I could hope for in a creative partner.”

— Chris Lentz, Director of Communications, Princeton University

“Marcelo is an expert in his field and an entertainer, with a clear and well-communicated strategy to craft a story. His presentation for the Miami Business Club was both educational and fun! He’s very easy to deal with and the process is smooth. I highly recommend him.”

— Stefan Lingmerth, Founder of Miami Business Club
