Sibling Rivalry Films has brought Kevin Castanheira aboard its directorial roster.
Castanheira began his career working as a DP. He would quickly transition into directing, building a portfolio of successful campaigns for the likes of Marshall Headphones, Huawei, Johnnie Walker, H&M, Casamigos and Rimowa. Castanheira continues to photograph, having shot stills on many of the campaigns he directs.
Craft is at the center of all projects he directs. He focuses on capturing counterculture with a heart, beautiful compositions, and working within a technical framework that accentuates his ability for storytelling–as illustrated by his VFX sensibilities during the Marshall Headphones and Alexa project. Prior to joining bicoastal Sibling Rivalry, Castanheira was repped by production house Friends & Family.
“Kevin is a versatile craftsman,” said Darren Foldes, managing director/executive producer at Sibling Rivalry Films. “His work spans multiple genres and the unifying voice amongst all of it is the high quality, future-facing casting, impeccable craftsmanship, and smart thinking. He makes it all seem so effortless but as we all know there’s a ton of work that goes into that.”
