Guy Rahamim is a commercial and film director with a dynamic edit-based aesthetic. Eleven years ago, he got his start with director Simon Brand in Los Angeles, working on features, commercials and music videos. Guy then branched out on his own, directing and editing branded entertainment and commercials for numerous cutting edge start-ups as well as highlight clips for hollywood.com.
Based on this work, Guy was invited to China to make corporate videos for Puma during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Drawn to the energy and the bountiful opportunities, he relocated to Shanghai in 2010. Later, while working as the chief editor at LostPensivos films, he edited the feature documentary - The Poseidon Project, about a British submarine that sank off the coast of China in 1931, and the American explorer who spent six years looking for it.
Ready to expand artistically, Guy subsequently took on the role of creative director at ARMA Media, co-founding the Shanghai office in 2012. Over the next 4 years, Guy helped the company expand through his creative work for some of the world’s leading brands including Volkswagen, Ducati, Diesel, Haworth, Gensler, Lavazza and Shanghai Biennale.
In 2016 Guy left the company to pursue projects in the U.S. and Europe, and was recently chosen by Disney to direct a number of segments for their Shanghai Disneyland opening TV Broadcast. In early 2017 Guy relocated to NY where he continues to expand his freelance portfolio, directing and editing commercials, documentary, and branded content.
Graduated from university in London, trained in Los Angeles and developing in China, Guy brings an eclectic mix of inspiration, diversity a strong work ethic and a variety of skills that translate into beautiful stories.
