DIRECTOR

Hi there, welcome to my website.

I have been working in media production for more than fifteen years: TV SHOWS, DOCUMENTARY and BIG LIVE EVENTS are my main business. I have tried to put some of my most eye-catching jobs together for your viewing entertainment and hopefully you will find something engaging from it. It would be great if you spent five minutes viewing my contents, and maybe something great could come of it.

Enjoy your surfing and keep in touch!

VIEWING THINGS IN A DIFFERENT WAY IS MY DAILY GOAL

DIRECTING, WRITING, EDITING, IT’S ALL WHAT I AM ABOUT. EVERYTHING CAN BE SEEN FROM ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW ‘CAUSE CHANGE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO FORWARD. OUR DISTINCTIVENESS LIVES IN OUR DEEPEST FEELINGS, SO TRY TO FIND IT OUT AND SPREAD IT ALL AROUND.

ABOUT ME

I am a self-taught director, born and raised in Milan. I started my career editing and directing TV shows, music videos, documentaries at Mtv and I think it was a weird coincidence that I started working for the major worldwide music company when music was my passion since I was young. When I was a kid I used to listen to classical music with my mum. She often asked me to blindly guess which orchestral instrument was playing. It was very fun and challenging for a very young boy try to do that. A few years later music became a real job and a “passe-partout” to the moving image world. My first job in the movie industry was to make the original score for an Mtv show's promo. After that experience I discovered a new passion that put together video and sound and that lead me to work with images. Since then, I have directed for several Italian networks such as MTV, NICKELODEON, MEDIASET, and SKY for whom I directed and edited many multi-camera TV shows, TV promos, commercials and live music events also released on DVD. I have also directed internationally renowned artists such as Moby, Bob Geldof, and Backstreet Boys and recently I have directed the biggest rock band on earth "ROCKIN’1000" covering two big events at STADEFRANCE in Paris and at COMMERZBANK-ARENA in Frankfurt. In the last years I focused my attention on developing some original TV show formats and some of them have been also aired worldwide. I strive every day to find out stories that inspire me in bringing innovative shows to life.

GROOVE AND TIME ARE VERY IMPORTANT

IN MY EARLY TWENTIES I SPENT A LOT OF TIME STUDYING MUSIC THAT WAS NOT JUST A PASSION BUT A REAL JOB. AS A BASS PLAYER (THAT’S MY INSTRUMENT) I QUICKLY UNDERSTOOD THAT GROOVE AND TIME ARE THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MUSIC, AND I THINK THESE TWO ELEMENTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT EVERYWHERE: DIRECTING HAS TO HAVE GROOVE AND TIME, SCRIPT WRITING HAS TO HAVE GROOVE AND TIME, EDITING HAS TO HAVE GROOVE AND TIME AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, LIFE HAS TO HAVE GROOVE AND “TIME”. FEEL YOUR GROOVE AND ENJOY YOUR TIME!

Directing means evolving day by day, and in the last years, I have been approaching writing for the screen. While I have been developing many tv formats, what challenges me more is to create an original screenplay for a scripted TV series. I took a class at London Film Academy and I have been studying with some of the major screenwriters around the globe such as Paul Haggis (Oscar-winning director/screenwriter for Crash) and Robert McKee (renowned as one of the most widely known screenwriting lecturers) and thanks to their teaching and motivation, I’m currently trying to develop my first long-form original TV series.
