Roberto Santucci is a Brazilian filmmaker. Santucci holds degrees from the Columbia College Hollywood and University of California, Los Angeles. He started his career as a filmmaker directing short films, and then action films. However, due to low box offices, and even a film that was never released, Alucinados, Santucci decided to "do a film that they [the producers] want to do". This was De Pernas pro Ar, a commercial success, followed by other comedy commercial success, including Até que a Sorte nos Separe and De Pernas pro Ar 2.
