Interview:
FD: Peter what is the idea behind four Dimensions?
Peter: The Four Dimensions is an action movie. The whole idea is to show the absolute sickest and newest moves in all disciplines. And honestly I don’t see that many more people being able to do it better then Brawzinho,
Gollito and Victor.
FD: How did this Project started?
Peter: Started by Andre gotten me drunk in Jeri, and I signed a piece of paper at 4 am at a local Forro place.
FD: By filming on so many places all the time. How much footage you Catched during all that time?
