Transgressing

With his honest empathy and attention to human emotions, Alessandro Repetti is establishing himself as a film director, addressing crucial issues of modern society with all his films.

Starting his career in Live News Television, Alessandro moves to Rome to enter the film industry in the production of PASOLINI, LA VERITA’ NASCOSTA (2011, Horizon Films), the true story of controversial figure Pier Paolo Pasolini's murder. Alessandro achieved his BA in Media Production in the UK with the short film MASQUERADE (2014, Coventry University), bringing the zombie genre to a new level of social impact and morality. The film gained great recognition in the horror community due to its freshness and relevance.

After 3 years of work as a director on British TV, Alessandro makes a return to cinema collaborating with Luke Collins on several short films. Their film SWIPED (2019, BBC New Creatives) received over 1 million views in the opening week across iPlayer and social platforms. The film brings the dystopian concept of VR dating to real modern-day characters, who unconsciously abuse what such technology offers to them. Another short film CAPPUCCINO (2018, Channel 4 Random Acts) is an example of going straight to the root of the problem to destroy preconceptions, by truly allowing the audience to empathise with the social pressure caused by speech disorders.

Recently Alessandro wrote and directed HOW SCARED SHE WAS (2020, Orange Films) putting children fragility at the centre of the narrative, by telling a story of a carjacking which turned into the abduction of a little girl. Instantly relatable, this film drags the audience into this violent story inspired by, sadly, true events.

Alessandro is a member of the BFI Network x BAFTA Crew in London. His diverse work as a filmmaker shows his dedication to convey a message through captivating narration addressing the issues affecting minorities of our society.
