Eduardo Levy(II)
- Producer

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo began his career with Price Waterhouse
in 1990. His interest in finance and foreign markets led him to join
Banco Garantia - renamed Credit Suisse First Boston - Latin America's
premier investment bank. Over the next decade, he specialized in
emerging countries' fixed income markets, first as Senior International
Trader, and later as Director of Credit Trading and Portfolio
Management in South America. In Brazil, Eduardo ventured into
independent film distribution, which brought him to Los Angeles where
he earned his MFA in Film Producing from the American Film Institute.
While still at AFI, Eduardo collaborated with the Sundance Institute
and the Slamdance Film Festival in varied capacities. In May 2006, he
founded High Treason Productions and, soon after, Olhar Independente, a
talent search service aimed at educating South American filmmakers and
representing their work in Los Angeles. Olhar Independente and the
Brazilian Film Network recently formed a partnership - BFN - to operate
as a de facto rep office for the Brazilian film industry in Los
Angeles. In 2010, Eduardo became a columnist for O Globo, one of
Brazil's largest and most influential print dailies.
