Crew & Talent Listing


Description

I am the founder of two active production companies — Lea Film and Queen Films — both dedicated to producing short films that explore contemporary social themes through a cinematic language rooted in authenticity and visual storytelling.
My professional experience spans the entire creative process, from script development to final production. My primary focus has been directing and writing.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Film Studies from La Sapienza University of Rome and a *Master’s degree in Film History and Criticism, graduating with the highest distinction (110/110). My master’s thesis focused on the role of the Director of Photography, examining the relationship between light, narrative, and emotional perception.
My artistic background is deeply influenced by Italian Neorealism, and I draw creative inspiration from masters such as Monicelli, Magni, De Sica, and Germi. My most recent short films have received national and international recognition, including the Italian Golden Globe and the Nastro d’Argento, as well as a David di Donatello nomination — Italy’s equivalent of the Academy Awards. They were also officially selected at the New York and Chicago International Film Festivals.
