George Manzanilla

 

George Manzanilla comes from the world of action sports films and music videos. He directs, shoots and edits. Having grown up around a family of engineers and film enthusiasts, capturing moving images was both a passion of art and technical curiosity. George’s mixture of image, sound and editorial technique has earned various awards including Best Cinematography & Production, Best Editing, Best Original Score, Most Innovative and has been featured at X-Dance Film Festivals and the Mar De Plata Film Festival in Argentina.

His current fashion work is a mixture of beautiful on-location and studio imagery for swimwear and sportswear client Billabong and more anti-establishment abstract youth culture imagery for skate and surf industry giant, Globe Shoes. Creating lifestyle imagery has been a focus of his work, however, blending the worlds of music and art, he feels, is the ultimate form of expression. 

George’s moving picture creation expertise also shines at the annual Billabong Design For Humanity event in Los Angeles, where fashion, art and music collide to raise money for charitable causes. As lead creative director for the event’s visuals, he creates the stage and screen presentations that provide the background and introduction for the show.

With over 10 years of professional experience in action sports, the world of fashion films is a logical progression that allows George to create images and continually explore new and old styles, music, techniques and equipment. You can see more of his work at www.rundfunk.com.
