Director Biography - Adriana Vecchioli

Adriana Vecchioli is a French-Italian filmmaker who is a rare combination of fierce and cute. Her work has received accolades from SXSW, HollyShorts, Flicker's Rhode Island International Film Festival and many others.

Formerly a software engineer, she left a cushy job at Twitter to pursue her life-long obsession for filmmaking and immersive storytelling. Blending cutting-edge technology with artistry, Adriana has designed XR experiences for Warner Bros., Disney, NBA, The Hunger Games, Coachella, Bose, Snapchat, and more.

Adriana revels in telling visceral stories of enigmatic women, quiet rage and revolt, subverting expectations with dark humor. She's written, successfully funded and directed three award-winning short films, all of which she also starred in because she's a monster. Her drama short HOW FAR won multiple awards and her genre-defying short COMIN' IN HOT has just debuted its festival run.

Her work has been exhibited in London, Paris, Barcelona, Los Angeles and more. A true multicultural explorer, she speaks five languages and is an alumna of UCLA TFT and UCB in Los Angeles, ESCP Europe, and Cours Florent in Paris.

Director Statement

Are you tired of the same ol’ objectifying portrayals of women in films? Let's flip the script.

COMIN' IN HOT takes a bold and surreal approach to a woman's sexual awakening, with women leading the charge both behind and in front of the camera. Our quiet protagonist, Mia, escapes the clutches of her overbearing husband and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. But there's a catch: she forms an uniquely intimate bond with objects, breathing personality into them. It's a Glass Menagerie, with a deliciously surprising twist.

Sick and tired of those high-calorie, low-nutrition Hollywood movies, I set out to tell this story with an unconventional approach to female sexuality… to push boundaries, challenge the norms and play with the strange and unexpected.

COMIN' IN HOT is a juicy French-American co-production, led by a kick-ass team of women and lifted by a strong online community of 350 dedicated backers and well over 30,000 followers.

So, dear programmers, I implore you to take a sip from this spicy cinematic cocktail for a fun ride that celebrates women. COMIN' IN HOT is a tsunami of thrill and bliss, ready to make a splash at your festival.

Cheers,
Adriana ❤️‍🔥
