Hi, I’m Marco Bacchetta. I’m a director, filmmaker, and location sound mixer with a strong track record across narrative and documentary projects, live events, and social-media content. I’ve built a hands-on skill set spanning directing, cinematography, and post-production, with a focus on storytelling, technical excellence, and collaborative production workflows. I’m currently based in Chicago and continually intersect creative vision with practical production needs to deliver compelling multimedia work. Over the years I’ve collaborated with non-profits, educational institutions, athletes, and independent artists to craft digital and audiovisual pieces that resonate on social platforms and in traditional formats. I’m fluent in English, French, and Italian, comfortable leading crews, and adept at balancing concept with budget and schedule to bring projects to life.
