Bio
Born in Italy in 1978, I travelled across Europe and North America since the 90'''s in company of my compact camera. I experienced both Photography and Cinema like as a dream with the eyes wide open, also with the (marvellous) chance of choosing and keeping what everyone'''s eye wants to see, like making an utopia be possible.
Everything stands out from the frame as we can clearly see from the history of art.
I consider myself a world citizen as I lived in Sicily, Sardinia, South Tyrol, Lisbon, Venice, Florence and Bologna. Currently based in the UK, I am always moved by curiosity: this can be filled by travels and visions.

Since 2008 I have run my own business, Studioeffe22, specialising in digital production: I have been shooting promotionals for the website toprural.com, reportages for the web Arcoiris.tv and for the Agency reallifetv.com
Also thanks to these experiences, along with my great passion for documentaries, I achieved a good level of video making, editing and retouching, getting knowledgeable of the tricks and the phases of workflow on the images and the videos as well.
In 2013 I founded the website indygroundfilm.com which contains the main films and documentaries I have produced since 2005.
In 2015 I moved to the UK.
