I'm Paulo Cariati, a Brazilian-Italian broadcast professional with nearly 30 years of hands-on experience in post-production, camera work, and production management across Europe and beyond. I started in electronics and gradually moved into video, coordinating teams, OB vans, and complex production workflows while delivering high-quality content for news, features and events. I am comfortable driving projects from concept to delivery, balancing technical precision with creative storytelling. Currently based in Rome, I collaborate with ORF and Eurovision and also teach students through Rome-based programs. I thrive on turning ideas into compelling visuals, managing tight schedules, and ensuring smooth operations across pre-production, shooting, and post-production in fast-paced environments.
