Tangles

2D Feature Film - on Theaters

My background as a story artist enabled me to both honor animatic camera language and confidently lead necessary changes when storyboards no longer aligned with evolving sets and staging, preserving story clarity and emotional impact.

Tangles

Feature Film - on theatres

On this adult 2D animated feature, I led and owned story sequences from script through animatic, working closely with directors and producers. I contributed story and visual solutions to enhance emotional beats, pacing, and clarity, and was responsible for pivotal sequences defined by emotional complexity, subtle acting, strong composition, and innovative narrative choices.

Kickstart Entertainment

Senior Storyboard Artist

Barbie Mysteries Series - Netflix

I led story sequences from script to animatic within a CGI pipeline, using Blender cameras to define animatic shots. I owned complex sequences involving dialogue, crowd staging, action, and montage. My creative contribution was central to the visual storytelling, including defining the visual language for montage sequences, editing Italian-language dialogue, and leading the development of a musical story beat to enhance characterization and dramatic impact (the edited track I created was used directly in the final published episode).

Gemini is a video production company that I founded and ran within my family’s business.

The film was screened at the European Parliament and presented at numerous international film festivals, where it received multiple awards. As the filmmaker, I was responsible for understanding the client’s needs, values, and objectives and translating them into clear story beats and meaningful visual language. I led the entire production process, from initial concept development through to the final cut.
