Director Biography - Gianluca Vitarelli

IT

Sono nato a Priverno, un piccolo paesino in provincia di Latina, la mia passione per il cinema è iniziata alle scuole superiori. Ho mosso i primi passi sui set cinematografici come fonico, grazie anche alla mia passione per la musica. Da sempre però, il lato visivo della produzione era quello che mi interessava maggiormente, quindi ho voluto occuparmi della macchina da presa e della regia, sempre con un occhio di riguardo verso il suono.
ENG

I was born in Priverno, a small town in the province of Latina, in the center of Italy. My passion for cinema began in high school. I took my first steps on film sets as a sound recordist, thanks to my love for music. However, I have always been more drawn to the visual side of production, which led me to focus on camera operation and directing—while always keeping a keen interest in sound.
