About me
I was born in Milan and raised in London, where I live and work as a writer and director. My favourite films to watch and make are mostly psychological horrors, dark comedies and anything outlandish or bizarre.
My debut feature, Home Education, an English-language psychological horror film set in Italy, was released in Italy by Warner Bros. with a nationwide theatrical run in November 2023 and went on to become the highest-grossing Italian-produced horror debut in the country's history. It stars Julia Ormond, Lydia Page and Rocco Fasano, with Alex Proyas, director of The Crow and Dark City, as executive producer. In 2025 it won Best Film at the Dead Northern Film Festival in the UK, and it reached US and Canadian audiences through streaming in 2024.
The feature grew out of my London Film School graduation short of the same name. I have also written and directed several other award-winning shorts that have played at festivals around the world.
I recently developed a horror TV series with Dario Argento for Blackbox Multimedia, based on his book of short stories - Horror.
I am currently developing my second feature film.
