TWO NEW DIRECTORS FOR CASTA DIVA BUENOS AIRES: FATTY IASTREBNER AND JULI MONTESANO

October 17, 2016

With a view to consolidating its leadership in the South American market, Casta Diva Buenos Aires (part of Casta Diva Group) has strengthened its roster of directors with Fatty Iastrebner and Juli Montesano, who have joined the team currently made up of Javier Garrido, Verdoia Franco, Carlos Gil and Sol Abadi. The two new entries will direct spots both locally and globally.
Iastrebner’s forte is humour and action, and he has worked with both athletes and celebrities, directing for brands of the calibre of Unilever, Coca-Cola, Purina, Telefonica, Speedy and Danone.
For some time he had felt the need to take a new direction in his career in order to grow further professionally. The opportunity to join the team of directors at Casta Diva Buenos Aires was perfect for him: “I’m delighted to join this team of talented directors. Casta Diva is a production company that is passionate about its work, just as I am about mine!”
Montesano, before starting his directing career, worked as a designer and art director. He became proficient in post-production and in animation for clients such as FiberTel, Ascia, Volkswagen, Sprite and Falabella.
His creative mind is especially suited to projects which require special attention to aesthetic detail. He sees joining Casta Diva Buenos Aires as a natural progression of his work experience up to now, declaring that, “we are like aligned planets.”

“Both directors are already very well known throughout Latin-America on account of their previous careers as producers, which of course meant that until just a few months ago they were competitors of Casta Diva. The moment they decided to dedicate themselves exclusively to directing, the offers flew in; but their preferred choice was to join the team of Casta Diva Buenos Aires. For this reason, it’s an honour for us to welcome them into our team,  especially if you also consider the many awards they’ve won over the years, including half-a-dozen Cannes Gold Lions,” declares Andrea de Micheli, CEO of Casta Diva Group.
