Brazilian filmmaker T\u00f4ka wrote and directed the film \u201cNauru,\u201d a remarkable film that took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Featurette, Sci-Fi at Film Invasion Los Angeles 2024.
\nIn fact, the film took home five awards, including Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, and Best Supporting Performer.
\n\u201cNauru\u201d is a proof of concept for a feature script that T\u00f4ka wrote, which is good news because the world he created in \u201cNauru\u201d deserves to be explored much further.<\/p>\n

T\u00f4ka lives in London today and hopped onto Zoom to have this conversation with me. After seeing a film as well-written and visually stunning as \u201cNauru,\u201d I had been looking forward to this talk for most of 2024.
\nWe managed to get on Zoom together in December and now you get to listen to it in 2025!\"\"<\/p>\n
