Director Angelo Cerisara has joined Biscuit Filmworks for representation in both the U.S. and U.K. spanning commercials, branded content and music videos. Born in Italy and based in London, Cerisara is a notable up-and-coming director who was shortlisted for the British Arrows Emerging Talent award.
Cerisara now lands his first U.S. representation. Prior to joining Biscuit, he had been handled in the U.K. by production company UNIT9.
“Angelo has a wonderful perspective on life which comes through in all of his work; he manages to elevate the world to a place that I wish more of us did. He’s an incredibly exciting young talent and we can’t wait to get started,” said Rupert Reynolds-MacLean, managing director at Biscuit U.K.
Immersed in the world of parkour as a teenager, Cerisara learned the craft by filming his peers on the fly and editing to maximize the excitement. He later studied at the National Film and Television School (NFTS) in London. Cerisara’s background informs his dynamic visual style today, with work for brands including Nike, Uber, and Hardee’s, the music video “Hold On” for Not Waving which was shortlisted at the U.K. Music Video Awards, and the documentary short Frehiwot which was awarded at the Nespresso Talents competition. His “Missed You Stranger” campaign for Belgian radio station StuBru captures mesmerizing illustrations of human connection, and received a Vimeo Staff Pick.
Cerisara comes aboard a Biscuit directorial roster which includes Aaron Stoller, Andreas Nilsson, Ben Strebel, Bine Bach, Christopher Riggert, Clay Weiner, Dan DiFelice, Daniel Warwick, Errol Morris, Isaiah Seret, Jeff Low, Jocelyn & Dawn, Justin Kurzel, Lalou & Joaquin, Los Pérez, María Sosa Betancor, Matilda Finn, Matt Devine, Molly Manners, Nathan Miller, Noam Murro, Rachel McDonald, Steve Rogers, and The Glue Society.
