alejandro toledo

Alejandro's filmcraft and natural talent for storytelling reaches a new height with his powerful directing on Saudi Arabia's MBC's cinematic series "Muawiya" which takes forward the epic action drama of Hollywood's masterpieces like "Ben Hur." He started directing commercials back in 1983. He worked in every department of film production to gain experience of all the various skills required in production before he became a director of music videos, commercials, documentaries and feature films. Since 1998 he has concentrated his strengths primarily on creating commercials for the international market and this experience has allowed him to enjoy a wonderful cross over of cultures from Spain, the Middle East, France, South America and many more which has enriched Alejandro both as a director as well as a human being. Alejandro’s range of work demonstrates his interest in all genres and he believes that a good professional needs to have the ability to be enthusiastic about everything and always looking for new ideas and keeping abreast of the latest trends. Alejandro likes diversifying not only in the world of advertising, but also in the world of technology, architecture, art (video and installation) and above all of course, the world of cinema. What most interests Alejandro about his work is the possibility to create real emotions, human stories with real characters and be able to achieve narrative simplicity for any idea. The clients Alejandro has worked with are a palette of the world’s best brands, Anheuser-Busch Inbev, Coca Cola, Sony, Lexus, Vodafone, Toyota, Hennessey, Sky, Chevrolet, Kia, Lee Cooper, Renault, Pepsi, Ford, Olay and Nikon to name a few.
