The company recently added prestigious director and photographer Eugenio Recuenco to its film and commercial team.

• Forecast Image campaign shoot with Carlos Alsina, supported by the company's new branch office on the Canary Islands.

Team Works Production put together a new viral video for the Sony Twilight campaign. Using professional 'Recortadores' (artistic performers) as doubles alongside four professional football players, Team Works sent out four different 'fighting cows' at a private bullfighting training centre for the one day shoot that was full of adventure and left everyone on the edge of their seats.

Only 925 / Team Works Production worked with one of their own directors, Fernando Garcia-Ruiz, for a new commercial for Brekkies. After an extensive cat-casting, the best ones were chosen for the two day shoot using a Red One in slow motion.
