YOUTH

Based in Brazil, they decided early on not to fit into standard industry categories. Instead, they built their own creative home from the ground up, founding the production company The Youth & Co. and the animation studio Colossal.

This independence gives YOUTH the freedom to work as a true collective across a wide range of formats, from raw, independent music videos to major global campaigns for brands including Pepsi, Puma, Nissan and Volkswagen. Their strength lies in the chemistry and shared creative instinct between their collaborators, allowing them to approach each project with a fluid and open process.

YOUTH develop their films collaboratively from the earliest ideas through to final post-production. Their work moves naturally between live action, hand-drawn 2D animation and 3D design, combining highly technical tracking shots and digital environments with real, physical elements on set, such as practical lighting, rain and in-camera effects.

Post-production is an integral part of their creative DNA rather than an afterthought. The result is a rich and distinctive hybrid style that feels tactile, handmade, cinematic and alive.

Their work has received top honours from festivals including Cannes Lions and the CICLOPE Festival.

This version keeps the focus on their shared creative language and flexible collective approach, without defining fixed roles within the group.
