Gustavo grew up in Brazil with multi-millionaire parents that went bankrupt when he was a pre-teen. Just like that, his biggest fear shifted from a communist revolution to becoming homeless.

Gustavo got his MFA in Screenwriting at the University of Southern California where he used his optimism to write about the upside of loss.
