I stage the absurd

Mattia Lunardi is a director based in Milan. He came to directing through post-production and music videos, and today makes comedy commercials: hyperbolic, meticulously staged, built on performance and timing.

His work for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Vodafone, Etisalat, Converse, Oakley, Samsung and Adidas, with agencies such as Ogilvy, McCann, Saatchi & Saatchi and Wunderman Thompson, has taken him across Italy, Dubai and Istanbul. He has also written and directed three short films.

Off set, he photographs the street, where nothing is staged and the absurd shows up on its own.

He is represented by Let it Rip Pictures in the US and Cartello Directors in the Middle East.
