After studying computer science and working in the financial sector, she entered the audiovisual industry by taking a course in video directing and production.[6] Her first step into the film world was as a production assistant at Rio Cine.[7]
In 1998, she co-founded Total Filmes alongside Walkíria Barbosa, Vilma Lustosa, and Marcos Didonet,[2] a company behind successful titles such as Avassaladoras and Sexo, Amor e Traição, both of which played important roles in the consolidation of contemporary Brazilian cinema.[8] Later, in 2009, she founded Migdal Filmes in Rio de Janeiro, where she produced works including Nosso Lar and the Minha Mãe É uma Peça franchise, starring Paulo Gustavo. The franchise grossed over R$100 million at the box office and became a landmark in Brazilian film history.[9]
Throughout her career, Britz has collaborated with prominent figures in Brazilian cinema and has also been involved in curating audiovisual projects.[10] She is the author of the book Film Business: o Negócio do Cinema,[11] which offers an overview of the audiovisual market. In 2010, she was nominated for the “Faz Diferença” award in the Cinema category by O Globo.[5]
Her recent filmography with Migdal Filmes[3] includes productions such as As Polacas, Carlinhos e Carlão, Linda de Morrer, La Situación, Amarração do Amor, Irmã Dulce, Casa Grande, Cássia Eller (documentary), and M8 – Quando a Morte Socorre a Vida, as well as TV series such as As Canalhas (GNT), 220 Volts (Multishow), and Matches (Warner Channel).
