Still from Chocolate Tronchetto
Director · London

I direct the spaces we avoid, gently.

About Me

Drawn to grief, silence, tension. Approached with care.

I'm a London-based director and writer, originally from Italy. My work blends psychological horror with emotionally driven storytelling, often exploring trauma, isolation, and the quiet complexities of family and memory.

I'm drawn to the spaces people tend to avoid: grief, silence, tension, and I try to approach them with care. My films are intimate, symbolic, and atmosphere-led, using genre not for shock, but to reveal deeper human truths.
