Director Biography - Carlos Lascano

Director, illustrator, writer and animator, Carlos has achieved international recognition for his storytelling abilities: his most famous short films have collected altogether over 20 million views on the Internet, and garnered hundreds of selections and awards worldwide.

Even though his work alternates between commercial and narrative projects, his signature is always present: in the past few years, Carlos has merged together all his different forms of expression, creating an unique aesthetic universe.

Within his extensive résumé, a Goya Awards nomination, a pre-selection to the Academy Awards, and hundreds of international prizes are to be counted, as well as a participation as a jury -presided by David Lynch- in the Animation Category of Vimeo’s First Festival+Awards, held in New York in 2010.

In 2011, Carlos was chosen by Amnesty International to write, coproduce and direct the official spot for their 50th anniversary, project in which he worked alongside Oscar winner Hans Zimmer.

Later that year, the Coca Cola company summoned Carlos to direct the official animated commercial spot the brand presented at the 2012 Eurocup.
