CURRENT MISSION

Directing for film, Sharing and learning pieces of life!...focus on contribute for a positive world by words, scripts , films and actions...inspire, and sometimes entertain people and audience with arts, and a smile.

ABOUT ME

I'm a easygoing person with a good sense of humor and a genuine attitude towards people and new ways of thinking, i'm deeply honest, not too noisy and polite, definitely i'm able to stay confortable with every kind of people and to join my personal view of life and to learn from others everything I can! I like to meet and share experience and smart or just funny moments but also enjoy to be alone in my thoughts, reading and just walking for hours, observing people and nature.

Born in Nuoro(Sardinia) Italy; I studied ecology, marine biology at master level and nutrition but now after different activities I am looking for a career change turning into arts, especially writing and film directing that have been my main secret interest since teenage years.
I use to write both in english and Italian, short stories, short and feature film screenplays and poetry, storyboards and directing schemes. I liked to play a little bit of music, classic guitar and trumpet(but I am really rusty by now ;)...)

I also joined the IOWA writer's workshop MOOC course in creative writing. I have been Interested in writing and directing since teenage years but had never experienced a production until this spring when I directed my very first short film focus on human rights and nature. Luckily it was well reviewed by NFTS professionals and Sundance winner and so I hope to have the strenght to go forward....my short is Now in the festival circuit and on FB as "Eccomi Flamingos the short film".

I am father of a 12 years old kid and currently I live in Cagliari, but I am very seriously thinking about a relocation thanks to a kickstarting career mentoring scheme I am enrolled in and so looking for a proper match to complete this EU exchange program(EYE).

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a wasted time if you not live ot as you can want to..there's absolutely more beauty on a flng shopper bag flying on the wind than in a lot of magniloquent thounghts(do you ever see American Beauty?)
La bellezza è ovunque anche nelle cose più insignificanti, la vita è un tempo perduto se non si vive come si desidera davvero.
I hate Hobbes but I feel that he is somehow right...homo homini lupus? I hope to make a difference with art...
