REEL DE ORO

Maxi Blanco tested the waters in a slew of different fields before he began directing. A musician since childhood, Blanco’s career in music has never ceased. In 1998, he left his studies as a systems analyst at the National Technological University to pursue graphic design and digital art. It wasn’t for another few years that he would realize a love for animation and visual effects. In 2001, Blanco began working as a flame artist and visual effects designer at Metrovision, where he was alongside some of the most important directors and advertising agencies in Argentina. Gradually, Blanco started exploring the realm of cinematographic direction. In 2005, he directed the short films Infamia, an adaptation of Jorge Luis Borges. The film receives recognition in festivals internationally. His style is said to be a mix between visuals and a contemporary way of telling stories. Now represented by Landia, Blanco has completed projects internationally for brands like Quilmes, Coca Cola, Aquarius, Personal, Diesel, MTV, Nextel, Sony and Claro.Production Company:Landia, Buenos Aires, ArgentinaContact: {Caro Yugan;caroyugan@landia.com}T +54-11-3220-3310{Watch Maxi Blanco’s reel;www.produ.tv/popup.html?noti=6510&id=59213&link=av/MaxiBlanco-1012/maxi.mov}
