IMANOL RUIZ DE LARA (Madrid, 1980) ES
Imanol es un director nacido en Madrid y criado en Gijón, en una familia de actores, donde descubrió su pasión por la narrativa y el poder de las imágenes como medio de expresión artística.
Tras siete años trabajando en televisión como montador, decidió aventurarse profesionalmente como director en el mundo de los fashion films, colaborando con plataformas como Vogue.es y marcas como Adolfo Domínguez e Yves Saint Laurent.
Con una mirada única y una narrativa que no teme al humor inteligente o la ironía y bajo una potente estética, atrajo el interés del mundo de la publicidad, donde debutó con su trabajo Collisions para Heart Ibiza que le situó en la short list de Cannes. Su último fashion film, Europa II, fue galardonado con el premio a mejor película y mejor director en La Jolla FFF.
Amante del queso, fervoroso y noctámbulo seguidor de la NBA, y road tripero empedernino, Imanol ha creado un estilo propio donde cada matiz importa.

Imanol is a Spanish filmmaker, born in Madrid and raised in Gijón. As a son of professional actors, he soon developed a keen interest in cinema and image creation with an aesthetic style that sits somewhere between fashion photography, performance, design and high end cinematography.
After more than seven years of experience as editor in cinema and television, he decided to expand his career as a fashion films director, collaborating with big media platforms, such as the online edition of Vogue or brands such as Adolfo Domínguez and Yves Saint Laurent. With a unique look and a narrative that doesn’t fear intelligent humour or irony, soon attracted the interests of the advertising world, where he debuted with Collisions for Heart Ibiza that placed him on the Cannes Shortlist. With his last fashion film, Europa II, he won best director and best picture in La Jolla Fashion Film Festival.
Imanol has created an own style where every nuance counts.
