MASSIMO D'ALESSANDRO
FILMMAKER
Massimo D'Alessandro began his activity in the theatrical and musical field in the 1980s, mainly dealing with music, communication and direction.
In 1990 he was founding member of the non-profit organization A.S.S.O. (Underwater Archeology Speleology Organization), an established organization in the field of underwater archaeological and speleological research. With this organization he carries out numerous exploratory expeditions in caves and underwater archaeological researches all over the world. Activity that continues today.
In 1993 he designed and created the ASSONET website, the first world internet portal on underwater archeology and underwater caving.
In 2002, together with the video operator Marco Campolungo, he founded Studio Blu Production, a production company specialized in extreme adventure reportage which brings together the experiences gained during a ten-year activity carried out with the A.S.S.O. organization.
To date he has made as author and director many productions of which 16 documentaries (selected in numerous world festivals) distributed until 2016 by Minerva Pictures on the national and international television market and now distributed directly by ASSO Onlus.
