Strike Anywhere Adds Directing Duo StillKidz

Jun. 23, 2026

Strike Anywhere has signed directing duo StillKidz, marking the team's first U.S. representation. Carlos Navarro and Albert Sala bring an experimental sensibility built on live action, animation, and mixed media, often layered into a single project.

StillKidz also runs their own post-production, VFX, and animation house in Spain, which means they’ve been building their own visuals from concept to final delivery for years. Their cinematic style is raw and tactile, blending real textures and practical elements with new technology and special effects. Toeing the line between cinema and visual art, StillKidz’s films are ornately crafted while appearing effortless and entertaining. Their modern directorial taste is imaginative and fun with a global edge; StillKidz is the latest international talent Strike Anywhere has signed on for US representation, which speaks to the production company’s growing track record of introducing international directors to the US market.

Across formats, the connective thread is craft, the kind that comes from deep immersion in every stage of the production pipeline. Their body of work includes projects for a series of Adidas films centering on Kenyan runners, a Dosnoventa Tokyo campaign, “2025: A Space Rowdyssey,” and their Kinsale Bronze Shark-winning “MAD Maximus” for Nike x Travis Scott. When they first linked up with Strike Anywhere, StillKidz immediately jumped on to direct a forthcoming Instagram campaign, followed by a film for Arsenal FC x WhatsApp x Facebook.

StillKidz on signing with Strike Anywhere remarked:

“Simply put, they are driven by the same force as we are: craft. When you have a foundation based on craft, the sky’s the limit. Having that shared value is important because we’re both excited by testing the limits of what’s possible, and the only way you can do that without compromising your artistic integrity is through craft. We look forward to creating films that are truly spectacular with their support.”

 

Ryan Simon, Founding Partner of Strike Anywhere, added:

“With StillKidz, it was an immediate mutual appreciation for what we care about when telling visual stories. For twenty years, I’ve been screening talent, and StillKidz reminded me of that feeling I used to get screening in the sales room at Anonymous. Young me reborn, racing to tell everyone who’d listen. Their work is honest, sophisticated, without rubbing it in your face, and dripping with craft. As singular creators of worlds, there’s really nothing they can’t do, and we’re beyond excited to have them with us at Strike Anywhere.”
