I'm Giacomo Arrigoni, an Italian screenwriter and director who works across feature films, television series, and documentaries with a strong focus on character-driven storytelling. I explore genre through an emotional and psychological lens, often blending thriller and drama to examine identity, guilt, labor, ethics, and the invisible forces that shape individual lives. Whether I'm writing fiction or crafting documentary narratives, my approach centers on human behavior, moral tension, and the relationship between characters and their social or geographic environment. In my career, I've co-written feature films State of Consciousness, starring Emile Hirsch (distributed in the U.S. by Lionsgate), and Eddie & Sunny, starring Gabriel Luna. Both are available on Amazon Prime Video and sit at the intersection of thriller and psychological drama. As a director, I tackled themes of the unseen and the vulnerable in The Rule of Lead, a supernatural thriller about invisible children, and I directed the short Into the Gloom, addressing violence against women. I created the TV series #Gold fish for Discovery Italia, and I've directed documentaries such as Spicy Calabria, Resilient Warriors: Jose Antonio, and Celebrity Wines (2024). My work has been shown at major festivals and received nominations and awards, including recognition from Maison des Scénaristes, Raindance, and the Italian Golden Globes.
