Molho is based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It is the work of director Marcelo Altino Garcia. Molho has produced work for film titles, short films, and commercials. The studio is probably best known for its award-winning international music festival commercial Virtuosi, the short film Max Haus, along with the work done for Darren Aronofsky, Hi-Res!, and Focus Features.
The studio has recently worked on a wide gamma of projects that encompasses a 2-minute short animation movie, a 50-minute animation as the set of an opera that premiered in December 2009, an "animal manifesto" with the support from PETA, and show packages for MTV Brazil.
Molho has been featured on hundreds of blogs and numerous international publications. The studio is now working with Margarida Filmes, one of Latin America's largest production and post-production facilities.

Marcelo is a director, graphic artist, and musician living in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In 2007, Marcelo founded Molho, specializing in commercial and experimental projects using different medias.
Having grown up in a family of classical musicians in Brazil, at the age of 13, Marcelo moved to Boston to pursue a music career. At 17, he attended the New England Conservatory of Music on a full scholarship award where he met, recorded, and toured the world with some of his musical heroes while simultaneously designing his own flyers and album covers. After doing the live premiere worldwide of the “Concerto for Six-string Electric Bass and Orchestra” by NYC composer Jeff Beal, Marcelo began to merge visuals and music in his work.
In 2000, he won the prestigious ApArtes Scholarship Award in Brazil to pursue his BFA in Graphic Design at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. His personal work as a student began to draw attention of the creative community. Interviews and features were published in magazines like Novum, Abitare, Page, Rojo, CMYK, and books by DGV. He had also won the 2000 Rachmaninoff Music Festival Poster Competition, the Red Bull E= Award, an unpursued one-year residence at Benetton’s experimental communication center Fabrica, and took part in collective exhibits at the Museu de Arte Moderna in Recife, Brazil, and at the William Turner Gallery and Williamson Gallery, both in California.
As a director and designer, Marcelo has worked on a vast array of visual projects. In 2006, while at Lobo, he directed the first global campaign for Dupont, winner of several awards, designed the Fall 2006 Collection for Diesel, the motion style guide for iconic advertising for Coca-Cola Worldwide, and a campaign for Hewlett-Packard, USA. Marcelo Garcia’s image-work makes use of animation, graphics, and live action. His video and print campaign for the Virtuosi International Music Festival was included in the Promax/BDA State of Design Show and earned him a 2007 Best Experimental Video Director of the Year Award at the Inspire Symposium. His recent commercial efforts include the motion identity for Darren Aronofsky’s production company Protozoa, the film titles for “Ball’s Out” and “Sin Nombre”, the cover of the “Motion Graphics Special” for Boards Magazine, show packacges for MTV Brazil 2010, a 50-minute animated opera set, and posters for theater company Piollin.
