About

I love films that trigger critical thinking, are humorous and are a joy to watch. This is what I look for in my work. I strive to explore the power of storytelling, the aesthetics of my films it’s carried by the content. Social issues are a constant source of interest for me and I seek a logical but emotional approach. I like to explore outside of my comfort zone, I observe my surroundings in detail and I look for the comic in the tragic. My work is about questioning, challenging and bringing down borders.

Born in Genua, based in Berlin. Italian and German nationality.
