I'm an independent director and filmmaker. I graduated with a BA in Drama, Art and Music Studies at the University of Bologna, covering visual arts, music, performing arts and fashion studies. I then attended a MA in Film Direction in Rome and have been working as an Assistant Director on several film sets. My ongoing areas of interest and exploration are the discovery of the individual through mood and atmosphere, music and gaze. I directed and produced my first short movie “Bianca”, exploring a very intimate relationship on the value of trust. I'm passionate about overseeing crews to perform their best and facilitating communication across various departments in film production.
