Davide's Biography

Reel and CV @ my website www.wix.com/dcinzi/homepage

I consider myself a versatile, creative and professional cinematographer. My key strengths are attention to detail, a strong passion for filmmaking and a friendly attitude which have led me to work on a variety of programs and formats. Experienced in lighting and operating for short films, commercials and promos. I am practice at filming in a variety of situations including low budget and fast paced shoots.

I am experienced in shooting with any medium, film 35mm and S16mm, digital HD Cinema, HDV, Beta, DV, and I am confident in all stages of production.

Here there are some links and info about my work:

- One of the latest projects I shot, "Photos of God" was recently selected as the only UK short in competition at the 2010 Berlin Film Festival. In an interview to the short-section curator Maike Mia Höhne he described the piece as " a film that develops almost explosively due to its visual intensity.")
