With a somewhat unusual trajectory where flexibility, adaptability and creativity have always been a priority, award-winning Colombian director and animator Simón Wilches-Castro has managed to position himself within the industry in Los Angeles, where he works as creative director of special projects at Titmouse Studios. His training as a freelance animator has allowed him to adapt to different projects, including the animation direction of Marvel’s WandaVision series, Apple TV’s Everlight, the animated video for Dua Lipa’s Hallucinate and Charlie Kaufman’s I’m Thinking of Ending Things. He has directed the musical The Emperor’s Newest Clothes for HBO, several pieces for The Gates Foundation and made a One Direction smut fiction for the show Euphoria. His independent approach to his commercial projects has led to his projects and films being screened at the world’s most important festivals, which have earned him several awards and recognitions, including two Adobe Design Awards, two Annie Award nominations and two nominations as a regional finalist for the Academy Award for students, in addition to six consecutive official selections at the Annecy Festival, three shortlists at the ADC Awards and the award for Best Music Video at the Chitose New Airport Festival, among others.
