Director Lucas Zanotto Signs with FilmTecknarna

Stockholm and New York based design studio FilmTecknarna will represent Berlin-based Director Lucas Zanotto for exclusive commercial representation in the U.S., Canadian, French and Nordic markets.

Guided by his creative motto, “the simpler it is, the better it works,” Zanotto blends a variety of mixed media in new and experimental ways and is best described as modern and minimal. His creative approach has garnered a Gold Design Lion at the 2009 Cannes Lion Festival for his work for Nickelodeon Germany, a project produced and directed by dyrdee Media, Berlin.

“Lucas’ way of styling classic animation in combination with digital media gives his film a very modern and analogue feel,” says Lars Ohlson, CEO, FilmTecknarna.

Zanotto began his career as a product and graphic designer.  After receiving his design diploma in Milan, he worked in several different international design studios, including product design firm Continuum. Slowly he moved into graphic design and then went on to directing films and creating motion graphics.
 
After Milan, he lived in Barcelona and later moved to Berlin. Zanotto’s work has been recognized by award shows, including Promax International, HAFF, ITFS and the Ottawa Animation Film Festival.
