Multidisciplinary creative studio Los York has added Artemis, a directing duo and creative collective composed of Ari Bre Bre and Tamara Santos, to its roster of filmmakers. This marks the first U.S. commercial representation for Artemis.
Artemis draws creative inspiration from their eponymous namesake, the goddess of wild things and the moon. The duo has crafted a distinct aesthetic that combines experimental and sensorial visuals with true-to-life, character-driven storytelling. Artemis has crafted commercial, branded content, fashion, documentary, sports, and experimental genres for clients including Nike Women, Adidas, REI, AT&T, Canon, Disney, Instagram, Facebook, Mailchimp, Escada, Stuart Weitzman, and The Contemporary Museum of Barcelona.
Born in Barcelona and raised between Mediterranean and Uruguayan cultures, Bre Bre is a visual artist and director with a background in film editing and graphic design. Now residing in California, Bre Bre pursues inspiration and growth through film, travel, culture, and sports. Combining the soul of docu-style filmmaking with curated and nuanced visual aesthetics, her films focus on female empowerment, the outdoors, and connection to nature.
Hailing from Curitiba, Brazil, Santos is a Los Angeles-based visual artist with a background in cinematography and graphic design. Her passion for capturing real stories through cinematic visuals has led to collaborations with Mark Ronson, Ana de Armas, Gisele Bündchen, Steve Aoki, and others. Santos is driven to elevate women’s rights, immigrant rights, and mental health awareness; challenging existing norms and presenting new narratives to spark social change. Aligning with her convictions, Santos worked as part of the second unit crew of Nomadland, the Best Picture Oscar winner from Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao.
“As visual artists, Ari and Tammy have been experimenting with different disciplines across the years,” said Leticia Gurjao, EP of Los York Films. “They create, direct, shoot and edit, and are involved in every phase of production from idea to delivery. It’s been amazing to watch their progression and watch them come together as a team; the result of an ongoing collaboration over the years with each other as well as with Los York.”
