His projects have screened at festivals including Catalina Film Festival, Alice nella Città, LA Shorts International Film Festival and Inside Out Toronto, with selected films now available on Apple TV and Prime Video. His work has received support from TorinoFilmLab, When East Meets West, Itineranze DOC and the Fondazione Sardegna Film Commission.
He wrote and directed the short films Back in Baby’s Arms and Locked Down, and is currently developing his feature directorial debut, Under the Olive Trees, a dark comedy set in Salento. He is also co-writer and co-producer of the hybrid docufiction Anime Galleggianti, and a producer of the queer thriller Spark.
