Creator, actor, and director Cauê Fantin has just reached another milestone in his international career. The Brazilian talent was selected to compete in Reel Vertical Impact, the first global competition dedicated to vertical series, promoted by the ReelShort platform, which will distribute over $500,000 in prizes to outstanding projects in the fastest-growing format in digital entertainment.


Cauê enters the competition with his original series, which has already surpassed millions of views. The nomination reinforces his leadership in the vertical cinema scene, a format that is revolutionizing the audiovisual industry and has established Fantin as one of the leading figures in this innovative storytelling style in Brazil.

In addition to his international recognition, Cauê Fantin is experiencing an intense moment of accolades. He is among the nominees for Rio WebFest 2025, the largest digital production festival in the Americas, competing in the categories of Best Vertical Series and Best Actor in a Drama. At the same time, he has once again been confirmed at the Kwai Awards, where he competes for the fourth consecutive year—an event in which he has already won Best Innovation with Copa dos Sonhos (2023), Best Editing with Sherlock Holmes e o Mistério do Futuro (2023), and Best Actor in 2024.


One of the highlights of his latest series is the participation of actress Maya Aniceto, who is part of the cast and currently stars in Cinderela e o Segredo do Pobre Milionário, Globo’s leading vertical drama series. Maya’s presence enhances the artistic caliber of Cauê’s project and underscores how vertical storytelling is gaining ground in professional television and streaming productions.


Cauê also recently gained attention for directing the first vertical series filmed entirely on a Samsung smartphone, a project that reached nearly 20 million views on Kwai alone. The success led to a new partnership with Samsung in 2025 and marked his second collaboration with O Boticário, solidifying his influence and creative strength in the worlds of advertising and high-impact content creation.
