BIO.

Felipe Blankenheim is a Brazilian-born, Boston-raised director and screenwriter.

Over the past decade, he has worked between Los Angeles and New York, directing commercials, music videos, and films for major brands like Apple, The Financial Times, SAP, Expedia, Jeep, BYD, and Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project.

Known for his emotionally resonant brand films, Felipe’s work has garnered millions of views and helped shape cultural moments and brand identities alike. His style is rooted in story and character—building sincere performances with strong visual impact.

Felipe studied film before joining the script development team at Miramax Films in Los Angeles, where he honed his sense of story and structure. He also holds a graduate degree in neuropsychology, which deepens his understanding of human behavior and strengthens the emotional core of his work.

His films have been nominated for over 30 international awards and have won 18 gold prizes in festivals in London, Berlin, Paris, and New York. In Brazil, Felipe has received all three major awards from SBT, Globo, and CCSP for Best Commercial of the Year.
