Hi there! I’m Omar Lermalet, a visual storyteller blending cinematography, direction, and production across advertising, documentary, corporate, and editorial work. Over a decade of experience has taught me to pair technical craft with a clear strategic eye, delivering imagery that communicates precisely and moves audiences. From capturing 360° Street View imagery for Google Arts & Culture to directing brand campaigns for Mazda, UNICEF, and Ocean Spray, I’m passionate about frames that tell a story. Based in Montreal, I collaborate across Colombia and Canada to bring ideas to life.
With hands-on roles from Assistant Director to Camera Operator and DP, I’ve led production on complex shoots, managed crews and locations under tight deadlines, and shaped post-production workflows in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and After Effects. I speak Spanish natively, with practical English and French, and I’m always eager for new storytelling challenges.

This project was programmed and planned over one month, connecting art, direction, and the campaign created by the agency for summer 2021 in Mexico. It involved creating video and photography pieces, under the direction of Spec7ro Films. My contribution ranged from assisting with the general direction to taking photographs and editing.
