Enzo always dreamed of being a filmmaker. As a child, the visual effects of the Star Wars trilogy sparked his imagination and led him to pursue filmmaking.
His early passion quickly found an audience: at just nine years old, he was selected to present a talk on visual effects at the inaugural TEDEd Weekend in New York City. By thirteen, Enzo had begun producing electronic music and released a full album across major streaming platforms—a skill he now uses to score both his own films and those of other creators.
After accelerating through high school and graduating for the first time at fifteen, he briefly put his creative interests aside and enrolled in the prestigous St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire to pursue athletics, particularly varsity rowing. By senior year, Enzo was set to row Division 1 at an ivy league school. But an unexpected spark caused him to change his mind.
A series of German class music video competitions rekindled his love for filmmaking, and during the college application process he discovered USC’s School of Cinematic Arts. He subsequently made his debut short film, The Secret Scratch, at seventeen with a crew of just three: himself, his co-star, and his dad.
Enzo’s film earned him acceptance to every film school he applied to, including NYU Tisch's Kanbar Institute of Film & Television and USC’s School of Cinematic Arts Film & Television Production BFA program. He is currently a member of the class of 2029 at USC.
This film marks my first attempt at a 48 Hour Film Project, and I am really proud of the result. It was a difficult undertaking, as I was a one-man crew (with the exception of my actors), but I'm glad I did it. I hope I can show that doing everything yourself, if you are able, does not necessarily mean you sacrifice quality or take any longer than others to create your finished product.
