Director Biography - Emanuele Pica

Emanuele Pica is an International, award-winning director, producer & cinematographer whose best known for his 2022 feature-length film, Stranger, starring Taylor Jabara and Jacob Taylor, now available on Amazon Prime Video and V Channels.

Pica was born and raised in Rome, Italy where, at a young age, he discovered his passion for filmmaking. Growing up in Rome, Pica, who was facing personal obstacles between school, friends, and family, would turn his focus to movies as a means of escaping the real world. His interest in films continued to grow, and by 20, he decided to devote his career to it. By 2004, Pica was accepted into the University of Roma Tre, where he earned his B.A. in film studies.

Pica’s career kicked off as a script editor for Fandango, a nationally recognized production company in Italy, where he reviewed and edited scripts, as well as supported on some of the company’s productions.

By 2007, Pica saw an opportunity to move to Queensland, Australia, where he enrolled at Griffith University, one of the country’s top film schools, to earn his M.F.A.

Pica’s film portfolio quickly grew. By 2016, he relocated to Los Angeles, CA, where he began working with some of Hollywood’s biggest artists including American singer, actress, and television personality Kelly Rowland, and R&B artist Eric Bellinger.

Today, Pica holds decades of experience producing feature films, documentaries, music videos, commercials, corporate videos, and more. He has won awards for various short films including Best Film at RIFF, one of the most renowned independent European festivals.

Pica, who has traveled the globe extensively, folds his worldly perspectives into his film work. In 2021, Pica wrote and directed an experimental film, The Golf Ball, to which was inspired by a defining moment in his personal life.

Pica is currently working on his third feature-length film, The Box, a 2023 horror/thriller starring award-winning actress Christy St. John, Bryan Scamman, and Grace Jones, which is scheduled for an International release later this year.
