Sau Paulo, September 11th, 2018 -. Amazon born actress Fernanda Diniz has landed a leading lady role in the D Street Pictures and Truth Entertainment co- production of Team Joy, written by Joe Tripician, who will also direct.

Team Joy is about the close relationship between a father and daughter grifter team that begins to unravel when the teenager's conscious gives her second thoughts. Fernanda Diniz will play the role of Maya, Mr. Williams, love interest.

Team Joy will be shot in Atlanta, Georgia in April 2019, and is the second collaboration between D Street Pictures and writer/director Joe Tripician, the American director living in Sãao Joseé dos Campos. They're developing the Brazilian film Moto Anjos with Viníicius de Oliveira in the lead. Fernanda will next be seen in the UK production Red Devil, and the sequel to the 2014 film Maleficent, starring Elle Fanning and Angelina Jolie.
