Carlos Tobalina was not afraid to give himself credit. Affaire de Janeiro lists him as lead actor, producer, writer, director, director of photography, editor and composer.

"In his mid-thirties, Tobalina fashioned a lusty lifestyle for himself, jetting to exotic locations to shoot low-budget sex dramas, many starring himself as the wordly Latin lover quenching the amatory urges of beautiful women. While his movies weren't memorable, his tax returns (if filed) must have been legendary." (Grindhouse) As were his technical achievements - Carlos invented TobaScope Hi-Brilliance Wide Screen Cinematography and TobaPhonic Multi-Channel Stereo Sound.

Tobalina died of cancer.
