What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create engaging film, commercial, and social video projects where I can combine editing, colour grading, VFX, and production coordination while delivering measurable audience performance.

I currently edit vertical and horizontal social content for independent clients, shaping pacing, hooks, captions, and thumbnails around watch time, retention, click-through rate, and engagement.

At Nova Video, I manage cinema advertising and social media projects from client briefing and footage review through editing, colour grading, and final delivery. I also conduct client and market research to align creative output with campaign goals.

I wrote and directed the short film Il Viaggio di un Cuore di Stoffa, coordinating on-set operations, editing the final work, and leading CGI, compositing, and VFX integration.

Since 2023, I’ve supported independent short-film and commercial productions across editing, directing, production, lighting, camera setups, schedules, and set-day logistics.
