I began my career in Milan during the birth of the first private radio and the explosion of Made in Italy. With a passion for creativity and storytelling, I embarked on a diverse journey spanning photography, radio, directing documentaries, and commercial production.
As a filmmaker, I’ve had the privilege of leaving an indelible mark on the industry through my acclaimed documentary film, ‘The Great Italian.’ This intensely personal project delved into the beautiful life of Gualtiero Marchesi, unraveling his captivating story for the world to experience.
Continuing my creative journey, I now find myself in the producer role overseeing the production of the captivating series ‘Wine Odyssey’ and three other compelling documentaries. It’s a thrilling endeavor that allows me to fuse my passion for storytelling with my innate love for wine, food, and music.
Living and working between the enchanting realms of Italy and the vibrant city of San Francisco, I am constantly inspired. The rich cultural tapestry and the scenic beauty of these places fuel my imagination, pushing me to explore new dimensions in my work.
One aspect of my filmmaking that brings me immense joy is the creation of remarkable soundtracks. Collaborating with renowned musicians such as Giovanni Sollima, Omar Sosa, and Ernestikko has been a dream come true. Additionally, I take great pride in showcasing local talents like Rebi Rivale and Elsa Martin, giving them a platform to shine.
TODAY & TOMORROW
NEW PLANS
My wife and I are on an incredible journey, working on ‘Cambur Pinton,’ a captivating documentary film that dives deep into the rich tapestry of Venezuelan music. It’s not just about exploring the people’s cultural heritage but also supporting the local community in a country that has faced challenges. This project holds a special place in my heart as it allows me to shine a light on the beauty and resilience of the Venezuelan people.
One of my most transformative ventures is realizing the phenomic age through HEBEFILM, a company I co-founded alongside Robert Lee Kilpatrick. We aim to foster wellness on a holistic level. Within this transformative documentary project, Leroy Hood, a visionary scientist, takes center stage. His groundbreaking research and his vision of collective well-being shape the narrative, taking audiences on a captivating journey where fragments of practical knowledge converge to paint a vivid picture of the human experience.
