Simone Redeghieri Baroni was born in Milan, Italy, in 1998.
He graduated in Media Languages at Università Cattolica of Milan, taking courses of directing and cinematography at UCLA in Los Angeles. After the graduation he took a master in Cinematographic Ideation and Production at the same university in Milan, where he co-directed the short film “In the Loop” as a student project, which was then awarded as Best Super Short at the Absurd Film Festival in the contest of April/May 2022. His short experimental documentary "No shapes in the clouds - Images and Sounds from 2020" has been screened at the Robinson Film Awards in Naples where it received the annual award as Best Lockdown Short in 2023. Later in 2023 his short film "Wondering Eyes" has been screened and awarded with the third place prize in a short film competition held by the "Cineteca of Milan". In the meantime he started working on movie sets as assistant director, while he continues working on personal projects, writing and directing short films.
Finding shapes in the clouds means giving a meaning to something that hasn't one, giving shape to something shapeless. The period of lockdown during COVID-19 pandemic was so absurd to me that it made no sense, and to me those were days with no shapes in the clouds.
