Summary
Originally from Italy, I moved to Curaçao at 12, then to Heidelberg for four years, and finally to Mallorca after a gap year. Driven by my passion for film, I found my career path in directing, which led me to Berlin to complete my BA in Film. I’ve since gained valuable experience as a director, ultimately leading the directing department. I’m dedicated to continuous learning and honing my skills to further excel as a director.
