Born in Italy, graduated from art college in London. I sold my thesis about the cinema of John Cassavetes to a film student and used the money to move to California.

My first job was at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley.

Over the years I’ve studied fine art, photography, performance art, cinematography method acting and writing.

Interesting people I’ve worked with include Oliver Stone, Leonardo Di Caprio, Robert Greenwald, Wayne Wang, Klaus Kinski, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Joan Jett, Matthew Rolston, Janis Ian and Derek Jarman. But there are many more who are not famous but nonetheless smart, creative, generous humans who collaborated, and made the work and wold around them always better.

Companies I have worked for include Sony Pictures, Boss Film Studios, Disney, CBS, Elemental, Playground, Click 3x, IMAX, Inaudible, BMG, The Family, Planet Splendor and many others.

My still photography and video installation work have been shown at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London.

My own film projects are not conceived as commodities. They are a way for me to explore different modes of storytelling, often outside of traditional, formula-driven narratives. My practice is about experimenting with cinematic language and artistic expression, with a focus on people, place, culture, and the natural world.

I climbed on the Tibetan side of Mt Everest, very high up, it was a life changing experience.

I don’t eat meat or fish because we are all animals with feelings.

I believe cause and effect shape our existence.
