“Sergio is a one-of-a-kind: great at what he does and a brilliant human being. The relationship started years ago with a Pepsi shoot for Africa. We were delighted the results. And Sergio was always willing to throw his heart & soul into any project, including his advising us on GM creative issues. A very special and talented person.” |

“I first worked with Sergio on a Toyota shoot in Shanghai about 5 years ago. Needless to say China is an extremely challenging place for foreign directors to operate. But right from the first pre-production meeting I knew we’d chosen a real gem. The way he ‘accommodated‘ very inexperienced clients queries and requests with so much diplomacy was very impressive –especially given all the translating that was required! Once more, this was achieved without compromising the integrity of the board and the shoot itself was one of the smoothest and most entertaining I’ve experienced.
Needless to say I would highly recommend Sergio – particularly for big jobs in developing markets like Asia. He’s a real pro and an absolute pleasure to work with.” |

“Sergio is a top director who brings a great intellect to his natural creativity. He will (and does) find a solution for whatever is presented to him as a problem. His work is of the highest quality and professionalism.With his own brand of charm, dry sense of humour, and old world gentility, he brings a certain élan to his work; hence working with him on a production is a joy. The process is a smooth one; glitches, if any, do not come to the attention of the client.
He delivers TOP quality – always! If someone had to devote a motto to Sergio, I think the most fitting would be, “Nothing less than the best” (referring of course, to what he delivers).” |
