about

I was born on 4th June in Taranto, Puglia, South Italy. I discovered the art of storytelling at Uni.
No matter if frozen images or images in movement. The love for the cinematic language and for the
editing grammar made me start my professional career in Milan, Italy where I collaborated with the
most interesting and eclectic production and post-production companies. I had also some work
experiences in New York, Usa and Kingston, Jamaica; I moved in London where I live and work at
the moment; I’m a Senior Editor and Independent Director; I love my job and I always try to be
creative and professional. I’m a Photographer and I try to keep this art pure. I always try to find
interesting points of view and unusual perspectives using an analogue approach to a digital world.
