Before NotAnArchive
Meet the creative behind the camera—
Alvaro Briones (aiarofilms)
It is in London where I blend my personality with my creativity. Every project becomes a way to understand people, places, and emotion through a cinematic lens.
Countless filming jobs have made me realise what I truly want to chase —
to be constantly challenged and creatively stimulated, transforming artists’ stories into visual narratives told from a fresh perspective.
That search for honesty, for presence, is how NotAnArchive was born.
More about Álvaro
Born in Seville, Spain, raised in Yorkshire, Northern England- what a mix, right?
I have an innate need to pick up a camera and create visual stories of culture whenever possible. These contrasting worlds shaped who I am as a creative.
With a first-class honours in Film & TV, I have worked across a range of media platforms. From influencers to big stage artists in Eurovision.
Now 25, I’m a filmmaker and creative director. You can find me going to a Barries class, drinking coffee at Koko’s or DJ’ing at my friends house
(…or having my grandma’s food in Spain)
