Rafael Damy

BIRTH London has signed multi-award winning director Rafael Damy. Never before represented outside his native Brazil, Damy recently won the Grand Prix for Content up to 5 minutes at the El Ojo de Iberoamérica 2021 Awards. Earlier in the year he picked up the Ciclope Latino 2021 Grand Prix for Let Her Run and the London International Awards 2021 Grand Prix for Music & Sound for 2breakthesilence.
