NOMINT Directors

Christos Lefakis and Yannis Konstantinidis met at the Bartlett School of Architecture UCL London and have been friends and collaborators ever since.

In 2006 the two founded NOMINT. The creative studio quickly became Greece’s leading commercial animation production house.

Christos and Yannis have been winning continued international recognition and accolades for their commercial and personal work. They have been appearing as speakers in festivals like Pictoplasma, Cut and Paste, See no Evil, Pechakucha and TedX Athens. The directing duo’s short films like the Holy Chicken of Life and Music and Mahahula the Giant Rodent of Happiness have been widely received internationally in festivals like Annecy, LIAF, Clermont Ferrand, Nashville, Aspen, Fantasporto, Onedotzero, Pictoplasma, and F5. In 2010 their work received an ADC Young Guns award.

Christos and Yannis have been acting as Nomint’s Principal Creative directors for all commercial projects to date. 

Eric Lerner is a director, designer and animator, well known in the industry for his masterful combination of animated characters and live action.

His global campaign for Coca Cola’s sponsorship of the Beijing Olympic Games “Bird’s Nest” won Eric the prestigious Best New Director award at the BTAA Craft Awards. The Wall Street Journal placed Eric’s commercial as America’s favorite Olympic ad campaign at the time!

Eric’s creativity, exceptional production value and playful storytelling shines through in his personal films and music videos such as his “Vimeo Staff Picked” Sigur-Ros: Gong music video or his graduation film Mr City Men which won Eric the Music Video Aniboom award. 

Rami is quite possibly one of the most sought after illustrators/writers/directors/LP collectors/hair-models of rural Sweden. Half Finnish, half farmer, half drawing machine, he has created clever and naughty visual candy for the likes of Google, Nike, The New York Times, Wired, Tropicana and Espn. 

Anders is a Danish director, creative director and artist. His striking visual style and unique approach to the filmmaking craft has solidly put his Copenhagen based motion graphics shop Frame on the map.

Having spent four years split between New York and Los Angeles, three years in Sydney, and three in London he has been thoroughly immersed in the sensibilities and the advertising, brand and pop cultures of these major markets.

Anders have enjoyed a prolific career in design, and from there transitioned into the film realm while developing his affection for sophisticated design-infused artistry. Anders is hard to pigeon-hole because he explores a host of different genres, from animation to documentarian, to comedy and action work – all the while holding storytelling and authentic character performance in the highest regard.

His most recent work includes campaigns for Wacom, Sprite, Al-jazeera, Citgo, Ford, Lincoln, Premier League, Nike and Adidas. 

Mostly known for his motion design pieces like Toylife and Digitized, Tony is one of the most talented and exciting directors we’ve come across and worked with. In his 4 years of presence as a director, Tony’s award-winning work has been regularly featured in top industry publications and festivals around the world (Vimeo staff picks, SHOTS, IDN magazine, STASH magazine, ONEDOTZERO, PAUSE FEST).

Tony’s approach, his visual mastery and creative versatility, make a very powerful combination that is always evident in all his projects. Tony keeps redefining himself creatively but there is always a very distinctive and unique resonating voice behind his work.
