"The most personal is the most creative", I hope!
**Filmmaker, born in Cagliari in 1985.**
In 2004, I obtained my high school diploma in scientific studies. I began working as a waiter and enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering degree program at the University of Cagliari. From June 2008 to June 2012, I worked as a deli clerk at a hypermarket.
In 2013, I abandoned my Mechanical Engineering studies, and by the end of 2014, my desire to work in publishing and communication started to take shape. Meanwhile, I engaged in network marketing activities.
In 2015, together with some friends, I founded the cultural association "Radio Iscutta Web", where I worked as a webmaster and editor until 2017, while also working as a sports broadcaster.
In October 2016, I began university studies in Communication Sciences at the University of Cagliari while working as a sports article writer for a small sports organization.
In 2017, I had my first encounter with the world of cinema by participating in workshops organized by CELCAM, a center for education in cinema, audiovisuals, and multimedia.
In 2018, I attended *Territori Viventi*, a course on ethnographic and anthropological documentary filmmaking. In 2020, I graduated in Communication Sciences with an experimental audiovisual thesis on the use of family films.
From the outset, my path has been oriented towards "cinema of the real". My work explores various levels of interaction with the people I portray and their world, oscillating between moments of pure observation and moments of genuine connection.
Some of my works include: "L'abbraccio"; "Le tessere perdute"; "Si seus accappiaus" (2019); "Distanze"; "Robi"; "Memorie in movimento" (2021, and its Sardinian adaptation *Arregordos in movimentu* in 2024); *Sguardi* (2023).
Soon, the distribution of my documentary short "Caro Fratello", the feature-length documentary film "La Volpe del Bagnato" and "Ring"— winner of the AViSa competition in 2021—will begin.
Currently, I am working on the short film "Mautia du scoggiu", with which I won the AViSa competition in 2024.
