Biography

Wilfrid Brimo’s films are emotional experiences that capture intimate human moments be they humorous, intimate or disturbing.

Wilfrid relentlessly pushes the limits of film making, recently combining live action, special effects, motion control and 3D in his spectacular Carlos preview for CANAL + .  He is equally skilled at engaging viewers with a simple, single shot.

Winning a Silver Lion for his debut commercial at Cannes 2003 kicked off Wilfrid’s prolific directing career.  He has since helmed campaigns for MERCEDES, ORANGE, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, AIDES, MEETIC and PEUGEOT, picking up many awards along the way at international festivals including D&AD, Cannes, Eurobest and Epica.

A former teenage graffiti artist, Wilfrid channeled his artistic passion into graphic design studies and worked as a photographer before joining Wanda in 2001.  He created the award winning Wanda Broadcast Design department, which quickly took off, with global contracts for the likes of MTV.  Wilfrid instinctively progressed from broadcast design to directing pure animation films to directing live action.
