Tomás Yankelevich De Giacomi (born 1977) is an Argentine film director, film producer, screenwriter, television director and television producer. The son of Argentine producer and composer Cris Morena and prolific former Telefe director Gustavo Yankelevich and the brother of actress Romina Yan, he debuted as the producer of talents show Popstars, which created girl group Bandana. Yankelevich directed Vivir Intentando, a movie based on girlgroup Bandana, and Cuatro Caminos, starring Erreway. He also directed Amor Mio and produced Cuando Me Sonries.
In 2011, his mom—Argentina's most renowned children TV producer—announced a hiatus and Tomás decided to create his own show, Supertorpe. An original idea by him, the show was the first creation of his production company Utopia. It was aired in Telefe and in Disney Channel across Latin America. That same year, he was named Telefe's director following the footsteps of his father who directed the channel between 1989 and 1999 and helped it achieve the leadership in Argentina's ratings.
Yankelevich was born in 1977 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to actor Gustavo Yankelevich and actress, producer, director and musician Cris Morena. His older sister, actress Romina Yan, died on 28 September 2010 suffering a heart attack. On 20 December 2008, Yankelevich married television actress Sofía Reca. They have one son, Inti.
