Available to hire
Hi, I’m Alberto Vannacci, a passionate filmmaker with a strong background in cinematography, directing, and post-production. I’ve had the opportunity to work on various projects from social documentaries to fantasy short films, taking charge from scriptwriting to final editing. I thrive in challenging and creative settings and enjoy collaborating with teams and professional actors to bring stories to life.
I hold a Master’s degree in Cinematographic Arts and a Bachelor’s in Communication Sciences, and I’m always eager to learn and contribute more to my projects. Outside of filmmaking, I’m passionate about martial arts and writing scripts, which support my creative and disciplined approach to my work.
