Alessandro Gaudiosi is a writer-director from Sydney, known for sleek, atmospheric films that explore the emotional turbulence of coming of age.

A graduate of Sydney Film School, Alessandro’s path has taken him from video game development and creative production at Sony PlayStation to the worlds of fashion (Calvin Klein) and music. Backed by an MBA, these diverse experiences now converge to shape his distinctive, cross-disciplinary approach to storytelling and direction.

His latest project, The Scar’s Awakening, brings Hayden Panettiere and Peter Stormare back together in a chilling epilogue to Until Dawn, released by PlayStation Studios for the PlayStation 5.

He is set to premiere RUNNING IN HEELS, a moody coming-of-age short about self-love and confronting the past - marking his debut on the international festival circuit.
