Michel + Nico join Wanda in France

Directing brothers Michel + Nico have joined Wanda for representation in the French market. 

First practising their craft through documentaries based on various sports, Michel + Nico taught themselves to film, light, edit, post, and animate their own work. Their ability to connect with real characters on-screen and a strong cinematic flair soon grabbed the attention of the advertising world and Red Bull was the first to recognize their talent. However, it wasn’t long before they were applying their newfound skills to commercials.

Michel + Nico’s first commercial project for Gillette launched during the Six Nations, and featured British and Irish Lions star, George North. The film resonated much further than just the rugby community with such a clear demonstration of their talent under their belt, leading to work for brands such as Under Armour, Sky sport, BBC, Mercedes, Renault, SEAT, Lucozade, and RBC. They have been shortlisted and multi awarded for the YDA,  British Arrows, 1.4, Creative Circle, ACIP, Kinsale sharks, LIA… and were shortlisted as Best New Talent at shots Awards after their first year in advertising. 

Their latest personal short film won Gold at the Young Directors Awards in Cannes and is shortlisted to multiple short film festivals.

In recent times, the scale of Michel + Nico’s work has grown - they are currently prepping their first feature film with Merman US and this year, Joined Curtis Brown Talent Agency in London for TV and Cinema international representation. They are also exploring longform TV opportunities with Wanda originals.
