Director Biography - Francesca Stangoni

My name's Francesca Stangoni and I was born in Naples - Italy, where I graduated at the Oriental University Institute, specializing in Chinese language and culture.
In 2000 I moved to the Marche region (center of Italy) where I currently live, I work in a private company, leader in the telecommunications.
I made acting courses and dance/theater internships in the past years, and from 2015 to 2019, I organized, wrote and directed musical involving artists from different genres: pop music, oriental dance, lyrics, storytelling, acting, live music, aerial fabrics, percussion, rock music and acrobats
Due to the Covid19 restrictions and subsequent Lock down, I had been compelled to to stop organizing events at the theater and this led me to focus on another sector, a genre that I have always loved: the cinematography and movie business.
I wrote, played and directed, for the first time, my first short movie called PROVE DI POTERE (Evidence of Power) in 2020, which won several national and international competitions in FilmFestival
In April 2021 I played and directed my second short movie called IL SOGNO DI KOFI, (Kofi’s Dream) an emotional video documentary talking about the hopeless journey of an African refugee.
In March 2022 I edited and directed a new short documentary called GUERRA & PACE, (War & Peace) based on the Syrian conflict and on a real interview of a Kurdish Refugee.
In August 2023: I directed and played a new romance short movie called SHERAZADE where I play the role of a mysterious woman, previously involved in the drug and prostitution racket around Europe.
In March 2024 I wrote and edited a project of animation short movie called LE STREGHE DI WICKLOW, an emotional video tale talking about the bond of an old with and a lovely little girl.
In 2025 I started focusing my attention into music genre, writing, performing and editing several music tracks, now available on the major music platform, worldwide (Disrokid, Sptoify, Amazon, iTunes etc)
I’m the Ceo of a company called DUBLINE STUDIO (www.dublinestudio.it) which represents a bridge between Production and Distribution. In particular, along with my business partners, we realize multimedia contents (Short movie, Documentaries, Voice over, Workshop, Stage etc.) for the Film Market and the Audiovisual market audience.
