He began his professional career in the 1980s on a local channell called TVE-RS working as reporter, presenter, editor, screenwriter and producer. In 1982 created a TV show called "Quizumba", that mixed fiction and documentary with very audacious language for the Brazilian public television.
Between 1984 and 1986 Furtado was director of the museum "Museu de Comunicação Social Hipólito José da Costa" in Porto Alegre. At the same time, with the help of José Pedro Goulart and Ana Luiza Azevedo, he created the company "Luz Produções". With this effort realized his two first short films and produced plays for theater. From 1986 to 1990, he made dozens of TV commercials.
In 1987 he was one of the founders of Casa de Cinema de Porto Alegre, in which he still participates. In 1990 he worked on TV Globo making scripts for many TV series.
