Sebastián Schor comes from Argentina; he was born in Buenos Aires on October 6th, 1976. Everybody calls him Schor: his last name is also his nickname.

He’s the son of Analía (a french teacher who has been the owner of a bookstore called Aristóteles for over 25 years) and of Ricardo (accountant and marathon enthusiast). He’s the brother of Romina (cook) and Samanta (singer and music teacher).

Schor is a funny guy; he’s pretty sensitive, even if he’s quite big, and he’s a great amateur dancer.

When you meet him, you can tell right off the bat that he’s crazy in love with cars, soccer, cinema, girls, music, food and well told stories.

When you get to know him a little better, you notice that the guy is quite the adventurer. He has done, and does, a little bit of everything.

You learn, for example, that he has been recording voices for radio and TV as an actor and announcer since he was young, that he’s responsible for the voice over in a movie called “Love pt. 1”, that he has acted in several short films and some amazingly funny commercials, that he used to host a cooking show called “Culinario”, that he started out as an unpaid trainee on some TV shows, that he has worked as a production assistant, camera man, sound editor, screenwriter for a few projects, head of production, assistant director and director. And even if he’s focusing mostly on directing nowadays, he still acts and he likes to try new stuff out all the time.

So now that you’ve become friends with him, you realize that the guy enjoys challenges, new adventures, testing himself and learning always, that he’s confident, that he has an attractive look, very special, that he’s a team player, that when he’s directing his strongest point is humor and comedy, that he’s great at working with actors, that he’s easy-going but demanding on set, that he knows how to get the ball rolling, that he likes to focus on details, but mostly, that he’s really good at doing his job and he loves doing it as well.
And after you finish filming and you sit around a table and start talking from the heart with him, the guy tells you that when he was a little kid he sat down in front of the TV and watched those old commercials, the ones that were made without cellphones, without computers, without digital post production. That he kept (and still owns) a folder filled with graphic publicity pages, stored inside transparent plastic envelopes, that he tore out from magazines, and that his favorite ones were the car ads.

And you hear him talk (man, does this guy like to talk!) and you learn that he’s a passionate guy, and that he lives happily because he loves what he does. And that’s a really good thing.

This is, give or take, what Sebastián Schor is all about.
