Roberto Santucci was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He completed the Certificate Program at UCLA Extension in Film Video and TV in 1991 and graduated from Columbia College of Hollywood with a BofA in Cinema in 1994. Roberto worked as an apprentice editor in films such as "Legends of the Fall" and "School Ties". In 1996, he moved back to Brazil, and directed and produced 3 shoestring/low budget films, "Olé" (2000), "Bellini and the Sphynx"(2002), and "Ridding High"(2008). In 2011 Santucci makes his first Top Box Office success in Brazil. "Head over Hills", a comedy for the female audience, differentiates itself from all the others movies he had done before. For the first time, he had a suitable budget, an experienced producer (Mariza Leão), professionals screenwriters (Paulo Cursino and Marcelo Saback) and top of the market distributors (Bruno Wainer and Marcio Fracarolli). During the next 5 years, Santucci directs all the top Box Office films of Brazilian cinema: "Till Luck does Us Apart" (2012) ,"Head over Hills 2" (2013), "Till Luck does Us Apart2 (2014)", "Loucas pra Casar" (2015), "Till Luck does Us Apart 3" (2016). In 2018 Santucci directed "Os Farofeiros", his 12th comedy since Head over Hills. The film made him achieve 30 million tickets sold, a record break for the market. The director points out as the reason for his success, the partnership with screenwriter Paulo Cursino and head of Distribution for Downtown Films, Bruno Wainer.
