Nexus Studios has signed directing duo Balázs & Cátia–consisting of Balázs Simon and Cátia Abreu– to its roster for commercial representation worldwide. Their body of work, which centers on storytelling, includes brands like the BBC and HotWheels and artists such as ODESZA and David Guetta.
With a wide and deep skillset to dive into, Balázs & Cátia tackle every brief style-agnostically, finding the right medium for the right story. Their work has spanned everything from 3D animation to replacement animation, live action to creating bespoke
innovations for a unique mixed-media approach.
Joining the Nexus roster marks the duo’s first worldwide representation. Balázs had earlier been repped as a solo director by Blinkink. Balázs & Cátia’s work has been recognized by D&AD, Creative Circle, Pictoplasma, Vimeo Staff Picks, AICP, 1.4 Awards, and has received nominations from BAFTA, SXSW, UKMVAs and Ciclope. A perfect complement to each other’s creative practice, Balázs & Cátia’s backgrounds combine conceptual, technical and production expertise, elevating each project to its unique creative and narrative potential.
In a joint statement, Balázs & Cátia shared, “The moment Nexus Studios reached out, our hearts had already said ‘yes’ before our minds could catch up–no surprise there, as we’re both fueled by the same bold and beautiful ideas! Now, we’re channeling that shared spark into something real, with a team that thrives on depth, originality, and fearless innovation.”
Chris O’Reilly, chief creative officer and co-founder of Nexus Studios, said of Balázs & Cátia, “They are exciting, boundary-pushing talents whose work blends visual innovation with emotional punch. Whether using film, animation, or experimental techniques, they consistently deliver conceptually ambitious ideas grounded in story. We’re excited to see what worlds they’ll build next.”
