Thomas Soto

Thomas likes to say he's no longer twenty - it must be because he's been immersed in cinema since he was young.

At 12, he called the reception desk at TVA to try to find his first job. At 16, he shot his first commercial as a director of photography in Toronto, then leaped directing, making a notable entrance into the advertising landscape in Quebec and Toronto for clients like Procter & Gamble, Under Armour, National Bank, Trojan, Sobey's, and many others, an unprecedented achievement.

Thomas is a versatile, agile artist full of solutions. He excels at handling images and sounds to evoke emotion in various genres, including anthem-like, feel-good, humorous, and sports-themed works. Known for his cinematography through his background in photography direction, Thomas also stands out in his direction of actors, particularly with children. Moreover, he has a keen interest in sports, which is reflected in his works.

Trilingual and from a Peruvian family, Thomas brings cultural richness to his work. This diversity translates into his artistic vision and his ability to communicate with a variety of people and cultures.

Recently, he won 27 awards and 18 honourable mentions in 28 different countries with his latest short film "Tenir le phare," directed the final season of the Radio-Canada TV series "Six Degrés" written by Simon Boulerice, and is working on a brand-new series for the Disney platform in addition to his first feature film co-production in the United States.
