Luis Rojo is a Director based in London and working everywhere.
Luis Rojo is a director and co‑founder of BRBR, the award‑winning film collective born in Madrid’s urban music scene and now recognised as one of the most promising creative voices in Europe. BRBR’s work blends the raw energy of the street with a refined cinematic language, bridging music videos, commercials and narrative film with cultural precision.
With over 10 Cannes Lions and accolades from Saatchi New Creators, Young Directors Awards, Shots, Ciclope and more, Rojo’s work is defined by a storytelling instinct that fuses cinematic ambition with brand clarity.
Their feature debut, La Mala Familia, premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam before screening at BAFICI and the Seville European Film Festival, and is now streaming worldwide on Netflix. That same cross‑disciplinary energy drives their commercial work—collaborating with agencies and creatives to deliver campaigns that resonate far beyond the immediate media cycle.
Now working independently as well as through BRBR, Rojo continues to bring high craft, cultural awareness and global reach to brands seeking stories that endure.
