Sebastian Alvarez Lavagnino

Film Director
London

Summary

Hi, my name is Sebastian, and I am a London-based filmmaker currently attending MetFilm School for practical filmmaking. My belief in the power of film as a way to inspire, educate, and entertain led me to choose this field as a career. I have gained experience from working on a diverse range of projects, from short films to documentaries and music videos. I am constantly trying to get on set to learn new skills, from pre-production and scripting to directing and post-production.

Beyond filmmaking, I have a deep passion for fashion and street culture, which are a constant source of inspiration in my creative work. I am fascinated by how fashion serves as a form of self-expression and storytelling. Street cultures connection to music, art, and identity, greatly influences my perspective as a filmmaker. Whether exploring bold aesthetics, subcultural trends, or the intersection of style and individuality, I strive to weave these elements into my storytelling to create work that feels fresh and authentic.
