with these two organizations in place, the promising times for the cinema industry and rio's growing reputation in the film industry, it is reasonable to expect there will be a growing number of producers and directors coming out of the city. however, these would just be added to an already illustrious list of film producers and directors to have come from rio, and who are still pushing boundaries in the cinematic world.

one of the early pioneers of not only carioca film production, but brazilian film production full stop, was luiz de barros. born in rio de janeiro in 1983, barros started making films as early as 1914, all the way up until 1980, playing a prominent role in spreading cinema throughout the city. most known for his 1953 hit 'é pra casar?', barros was a prominent member of the local cinema scene, up until his death in 1982.
