Giacomo's Biography

I started as reader and second AD and then worked my way up to direct a low budget feature film and then the 1st season of a TV series of documentaries. In the process I learned how to produce, camera operating and editing all the formats (16mm, 35mm, DV, HD, RED). I directed my first feature film, the micro-budget horror "Red Riding Hood" in 2003. I went on to direct the TV series "Delitti" for Fox Italy before completing an MA in Filmmaking at the London Film School. My latest short film, "La Citta' nel Cielo" (2009) premiered at the 66th Venice Film Festival. I was recently selected for the 2010 Berlin Talent Campus. In February I won the trailermade 2010 competition and I've been co-produced a teaser trailer for my next project Bleak Sea, starring Vincent Regan, Samuel Roukin and Robert Sheehan.
