Walter Salles

Walter Salles is a man who makes movies. Just like you play with toys to make fun, he uses cameras and actors to make movies that people can watch on TV or in the cinema.

He was born in Brazil, which is a very big country in South America. Even though he was born there, he also traveled to many other places around the world to make his movies.

Walter Salles has made a lot of movies about different things, like people who go on long and dangerous journeys (like in the movie "The Motorcycle Diaries") or people who try to make their dreams come true (like in the movie "Central Station").

Every time he makes a movie, he has to think about what kind of story he wants to tell and how he wants to tell it. Sometimes he works with a team of other people to help him make the movie look and sound just right.

Overall, Walter Salles is a very creative person who loves to tell great stories through his filmmaking. Watching his movies can be a really fun way to experience new places and people from around the world!
