It was clear to me early on that I wanted to pursue filmmaking as a career. After making several short documentaries and while graduating from Bournemouth Film School, I began shooting my first feature, Under the Cold Stars, at nineteen. The film went on to win the Bellaria Film Festival, Italy’s longest-running independent film festival.
At twenty-one, I joined Fabrica Research Centre, where I began working on my second feature, Pozzis, Samarkand. The film premiered at Millennium Docs Against Gravity – one of the largest documentary festivals in Europe – and won the International Motor Film Awards in London. Shortly after its release, it briefly ranked among the top ten
most-watched films at the Italian box office.
My most recent film, Stones and Words, premiered at Pordenonelegge and screened at several national and international festivals (Visioni Italiane, K3 Film Festival, Babel Film Festival).
Outside my work in documentary filmmaking, I earned a Master’s degree in Neuroscience and Meditation and I’m currently pursuing a BA in Psychology. I also taught film editing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Udine.
Alongside my own films, I direct branded and commissioned work. Such work has been broadcast on Rai, Mediaset and featured on DAZN. I’m currently finishing my next feature, Lost in Minnesota, a sound road movie tracing a vanished 8mm film archive.
