Got struck by movies at age of six when my sister projected on the roof of our bedroom some old slides of The Aristocrats.Didn’t know that was animation,but it had that magic I wanted to explore.
After my apprenticeship in Italy for some animation studios in 1995 I moved to Sydney,Australia, to join Walt Disney studios and later Yoram Gross film animations studios.I obtain dual citizenship.Proud to be Oz as well.
In 2018 I moved to Singapore where I went back often joining
the Nanyang University of Technology and Sciences to work as Story Editor for the short film Apple of my Eye, winner of the Golden award in Singapore. Back to Italy I worked as a freelancer for France,Belgium and Luxembourg joining studio 352.
