“Hello, I’m Stefano. I make documentaries.”

When people ask what I do, I answer promptly “I make documentaries”. I’m very comfortable with that answer, because I do feel that making documentaries is representative of myself, even aside from being a profession, it reflects my identity: documentaries are a way for me to discover more about the world around me and myself.

Yet, as much as I like the idea of identifying with my job, and as much as I find the creative process thrilling, there’s so much more than that. There’s nothing I enjoy more than long distance hikes, taking it slow, leaving the camera behind to see and experience the world directly.
