Train within the cinematographic world to deepen my knowledge about cinema and audiovisual art, to become a screenwriter and film director;
so I can develop my creative abilities within the industry and use cinema as a means to build a better world, more cultured and artistic, more humane and healthy.
-----------
I am a director and screenwriter of short feature films with a strong author's voice. I move between emotional intimacy and delicate visual style, creating stories with very human characters, often female, who go through seemingly small but meaningful moments. I am fascinated by the atmosphere, the poetic gaze and the invisible gestures that define a life. My influences range from the intimate and melancholic aesthetics of Sofia Coppola, Steffy Argelich or Gus Van Sant to the visual detail of Wes Anderson, the narrative sensitivity of Peter Weir and the emotional warmth of Stephen Chbosky. My cinema is built with winks, soft humor and a staging that breathes freedom and personality.
