    Film StudiesScuola Holden
     - Turin, Italy
    I took a three-years course in Filmmaking, mastering the art of narrative for the screen in all it's multi-layered, frightful beauty: from adaptation and screen writing to distribution, going through production, direction and photography, editing and relations with festivals. A precious takeaway from this time of my life are the people I met, sharing common dreams and ideas and creating a fertile network for future projects while learning the value of a team. After a life of words, I learned an image can speak ten times louder and now I'm looking for my voice.
