About me
I believe in the power of images above anything else. Film is a direct consequence and product of modern society, and as such it holds a burden of responsibility that cannot be ignored. My ambitions and aspirations as a filmmaker are to create and engage in challenging content, using the innate power of the medium to inspire change. After obtaining a BSc in Psychology from the University of Glasgow, and an MA in Script Writing from Goldsmiths, University of London, I entered the film industry as a Production Assistant on a National Geographic reality TV series. Between October 2019 and March 2020, I have been lucky enough to progress within the TV series from PA to Writer and Content Developer. This has given me the chance to see the whole project through, from shooting in Rome, Italy to final cut in the post-production offices in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am used to working in fast-paced demanding environments, I value and endorse collaboration, and I bring the best of me out under pressure.As a screenwriter, I have had the pleasure to see my short film showcased at the London Short Film Festival 2020, where it was also nominated for best Low-Budget Short. I have written and directed several music videos, and had an experimental short exhibited in an art gallery in Rome. My experiences and creative drive have made me aware of the different facets of the medium and even more aware of how much I still need to learn. Above everything I am a hard, reliable and ethical worker.
