I'm Lorenzo. I am a filmmaker and Unity games developer specialised in Mixed and Virtual reality for Meta Quest headsets.
I recently moved to Berlin to pursue my dreams of making movies and found an art collective and film/XR production company one day :)

I love to meet people and share stories and views on societies and philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make friends i didn't met yet, sharing ideas and knowledge. Maybe I'll find someone who has a nice film project and needs a colleague!

Interests

I like to film my travels, to make fictional short films or documentaries. I like having philosophical conversations about deep subjects but I prefer to make jokes about the way you talk or absurdity of the modern life.

My favorites comedians and philosophers are Louis C.K., Ricky Gervais, Coluche, Pierre Desproges, Dylan Moran, Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Diogenes, Stanley Kubrick, and my friends.

I think everyone has interesting views and ideas. I love to learn from the other, trying to pass through the ego and logical fallacies to maybe have access to the mind and weaknesses of my interlocutor. I like to hear ideas I'm against and try to learn about my philosophical enemies.
