About
Before studying directing at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, I left the rugged mountains of northern Italy for the wide, flat landscapes of Germany to work at two of the country's largest commercial film production companies. That transition—from the quiet of nature to the pulse of big cities—shaped me in ways I never anticipated. It influenced my vision, my storytelling, and the way I collaborate with crews of all sizes, finding inspiration in both the solitude of the outdoors and the energy of urban life.
When images and sound come together in perfect harmony. When a fleeting moment of melancholy blooms into hope. When a film doesn't just end, but lingers—sparking conversations and connecting people through shared emotions. That's when a film feels truly alive to me. And that's exactly what I aim to create with every story I tell.
