Mar de Dentro – O outro lado de Italo Ferreira

In the realm of great stories, we went back to the water to produce “Mar de Dentro – O outro lado de Italo Ferreira”, a docu-reality series starring the Olympic and world champion. Across 3 episodes, the series turns Boa Vista Village Surf Club into a meeting point between the world of high-performance surfing and big names from Brazilian culture and sports.

Directed and written by Leondre Campos and produced by Costa Blanca Films and Canal Off, in partnership with IF15 (the athlete's own company), the complete season was shot in just four days and aired weekly on Canal Off, and is also available on Globoplay.

This season, audiences get to know the new “Parque do Italo”. The intense training routine blends with a more mature and focused phase in the athlete's life: during filming, he was about to become a father.

The episodes feature special appearances by Italo's friends, including surfers Adriano de Souza, Yago Dora and Marcelo Trekinho, world skimboarding champion Lucas Fink, Olympic canoeing medalist Isaquias Queiroz and rapper L7nnon.
