Luis Castro, Yosu Menacho

Luis and Yosu are a duo of filmmakers based in Madrid.

They went to high school together, they went to college together, they went to film school together, and of course, they direct together. Of course, each one them live in his own house with his own partner.

Yosu doesn't like cheese and Luis loves it, but that's not a problem in their relationship as long as there is not fondue for dinner.

After a few years dedicating themselves to film and advertising production and post-production, they decided to venture into their passion for filmmaking and creativity.

They have directed commercials, corporate videos and animation.

One of their outstanding works is the traditional animation spot BREAKING BAD IN ONE MINUTE, which commemorates the tenth anniversary of the premiere of the well-known Breaking Bad series. They are responsible for the script and direction of this clip made for AMC, which has won seven Promax BDA International Awards and 4 CLIO awards.

Their Fashion Film, PLASTIC VOICES, has been awarded at Sarajevo, Bali and LA.

If you want to hire them you can call either of them: the probability that they are doing something together at that moment is very high.
