Biography

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Cinema and Audiovisual Studies from Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, where I explored film history and began to watch movies with a new perspective, analyzing and interpreting them rather than just watching. It was the first time in my academic journey that I studied with genuine passion and curiosity. Cinema has always been part of my life, even in subtle ways, but during those years it became an essential part of my everyday world.
In my final year, I interned at a photography studio, assisting the photographer in his projects. It was my first experience on set, seeing what happens behind the camera, and that moment made me realize I wanted to learn something more practical and creative.
After graduating, I moved to Berlin to pursue a Master’s degree in Directing at MetFilm School. I spent a year moving from one set to another, turning ideas and thoughts that had been with me for years into something tangible. I concluded my studies by directing my graduation film, which remains one of the projects I’m most proud of and grateful for.
Now that I’ve completed my studies, I continue working on different sets, some independent, others more professional. Through my work, I aim to create something genuine: emotions we all experience and that connect us as human beings. I’m fascinated by how the human mind works and reacts, and this is what I want to explore in my cinema, the subtle, universal feelings that make us who we are. My goal is for the viewer not just to watch, but to feel something that resonates with their own experience.
