Brazilian born director Del Reginato has signed to Black Dog Films for UK representation.
Del’s authentic visual style, inspired by his time living in London, Barcelona, São Paulo, NYC, and Lisbon, has seen the filmmaker shoot extensively for commercial clients including Puma, KLM, Spotify, Motorola, MTV, Heineken, Nissan, Avon, and McDonald's.
Del started his film career in NYC shooting music videos for his friends at CBGB's, embracing a mixture of live performance and animation. Del’s first commissioned work was nominated for a British Animation Award, and he has since received awards and recognition for his commercials, music videos, documentaries, and shorts from Vimeo Staff Picks, Nowness, Berlin Commercial Awards, 1.4, Hypebeast, Vice, Rolling Stone, Fucking Young, El Pais, and Kaltblut Magazine.

In 2018, Del directed ‘35’, portraying the life expectancy of the trans population in Brazil. The short was awarded at El Ojo de Iberoamérica and was selected for Vimeo Staff Picks and Nowness.
Martin Roker, head of Black Dog, comments: “Del is another exciting addition to the Black Dog roster. His background in post-production and experience directing using different mediums uniquely position him to work across a variety of briefs. He’s an accomplished filmmaker and we want to help him add to that.”
Del Reginato comments: “Black Dog has always been a creative reference for me for being a company that has never moulded itself into market trends, quite the opposite, it is a house that helps to define standards and direction by working with artists from different views and backgrounds and giving them all the necessary support. I've barely arrived, and I already feel like part of the family, can't wait for what the future holds for us.”
