“Stories bring us to life”

I’m a young Italian woman currently in the final months of my filmmaking studies. 

I have been studying intensively with a personal tutor, Rupert Vandervell, who has over twenty-years experience working in the fashion and luxury goods business. Rupert was Head-of-Video at Condé Nast whose titles include Vogue and GQ magazine. 

Studying independently has allowed me the freedom to gain work experience as part of my learning process and has been a great way to enhance my skills in real-life situations.

I have been working on a variety of projects which have covered all aspects of video filmmaking. My studies have included writing scripts, storyboarding, filming, editing and colour grading. 

I have worked for local businesses in the US and Italy which have helped to promote brands through media content. My creative skills enable me to capture the essence of a business and relate their story in a catchy, creative and concise way. 

My technical skills include full working knowledge of DaVinci Resolve editing software and Adobe Photoshop.

My current projects


I’m currently working on a dummy commercial for a shampoo product to gain experience in post-production. The outdoors clips were filmed at the Italian coast. I’m now working on some special effects to help give the video an ethereal and dreamlike mood.

I’m working on a film about a group of Italian people that gather one summer’s day in a small countryside village. They have dinner, play cards and enjoy themselves. The carefree and light-hearted situation is the setting of a much deeper and emotional conversation about their hopes and worries for the future.
