Director Biography - Ale Cetrangolo

Mss. Ale is a multiple awarded Content Creator and Media Communications professional twice graduated in the arts of audiovisual communication field. She learned the craft of the narrative composition of the image by a line of international awarded cinematographers and filmmakers, pioneers of generational art movements.

Ale’s been awarded for works done in photography by Nikon Co., for long-feature screenwriting, and for works done for 35mm film productions with Arriflex35, and on Bolex16 for traditional animations. She became an active IMDb contributor after being awarded with more than 60 recognitions in five continents for short films, thus fostering international dialogue for world peace.

Throughout her career, she’s been assisting in multiple independent film Blockbuster productions and in the Academy Award film Dir. Luis Puenzo, as well as live on-air public television shows in Buenos Aires and in New York City. Her directorial media portfolio includes a decade-long broadcasting production cable television in Manhattan Network, a subsidiary of the Fortune 500 list companies Time Warner Cable Corporation and Verizon broadcasting programming on five television stations serving her original TV production series to 700,000 homes of the New York City and surrounding areas via spectrum and fios, RCN and worldwide through live streaming media.

As the daughter of a fine arts professor and awarded sculptor, Ale is also an accomplished plastic artist who’s familiar with cast concrete sculpture methods and large-scale mobile installation. Ale auctioned original works on acrylic and oil on canvas twice at Chashama Space in Midtown Manhattan.

Mss Ale has been designing curriculums for the arts and audiovisual communication in various settings, equipping educators with incorporating technology in the arts through Media Communication Art in the 21st Century classroom.
She’s the author of 'Enlightened by You: An Introduction to Media Literacy in the Digital Age'.

An International Arts and Cultural Exchange faculty affiliate at Chang’an University of Transportation and Communications in Xi’an, continental China.

Ale is curious by nature and enjoys learning about cultures at an intimate level. As she believes in the healing power of beauty, for her, creating is a transcendental-like process always praying to be able to uncover in ordinary people the uniqueness dwelling within to crystalize it in art forms, in such a way to open new avenues of dialogues to restore our fractured world severed by limited perceptions.

Director Statement

My personal approach to creating rich media content advocates the positive side of motions in society, delivering invigorated perspectives for future generations through the beauty of the arts.
I consider all art expressions should have a component of transcendental force to effectively communicate a message of lasting value.
