Art School Confidential is a 2006 parody film of college life as a student. The film is filled with plenty of nonsense, pretentious behaviour, backstabbing and a side of murder mystery. Based on the partially true events of a graphic novelists journey through art school and also part fiction. Trashed by critics, will this film be revived or is it simply destined for the waste bin.

Doggy Bank is mini-series based on a novel by legendary Brazilian novelist Machado de Assis who passed away 100 years ago with little notice outside his country. The series follows the story of a broke and dimwitted slacker who is hired by a mad philosopher to babysit his pampered pooch. What follows is a satirical exploration of wealth and loyalty, but with a few more belly laughs. With humor, Corrêa explores layered international and thought-provoking stories using Brazilian culture as a vehicle to navigate U.S. settings.

Directed and produced and co-written by Thales Corrêa, with actors featuring Thales Corrêa as Julian, Anthony Moore as Borba as well as Jer, and Andrea Flowers as Prana.
