Hi, I’m Lorenzo Bassano. I started my career as an Art Director at top international agencies, shaping campaigns for Coca‑Cola, Swatch, Honda and Fiat across Europe. After roughly a decade in advertising, I transitioned to directing, building my craft through commercials, shorts and eventually feature films, while collaboration with global production houses broadened my reach. In 2005 I released my first feature, A Christmas Carol, which gained a cult following and helped launch my ongoing work as a freelance director and producer. I now split my time between directing, managing DressCodeFilm.net, and building SoundChess TV, a backstage/live music platform I co-created. I’m passionate about storytelling through powerful visuals and sound, and I love working with diverse teams and audiences around the world.
