In a few weeks, all of my short films will finally be online! I'm excited to start with my favorite universe HR of UGAGO where I had the opportunity to co-write and co-direct with @ennio_ruschetti with the amazing vfx-company @dasaltelager ! Dave is the last human in a "woke" office in the future, fighting against the team spirit of his AI robot colleagues...! https://youtu.be/Bx9ejaoIsf4 This sci-fi office comedy wouldn't have been possible without the AI Space @zhdkcampus @zhdk.film And an incredibly talented cast & team like..

TOTE TIERE aka "Dead Animals" tells the story of a grieving pet owner who forms an unlikely friendship with a peculiar taxidermist. This surreal, dark comedy boasts the most "brilliantly stupid" ending in Swiss low-budget cinema history - but we'll let you be the judge! Link: /407150889 We couldn't have achieved this without our incredible, tight-knit crew and cast! Lasting friendships were forged during the insane making of this film that continue to this day! I will never forget the smell of animal carcasses.

What a great idea: @doruntinaazemi inviting friends from all different parts of life, from all over the world, to meet in her hometown in Italy...! Watching new connections form, people collaborating for the next creative projects, or just chill in the winter sun (some even dipped into the ice-cold water) – it was simply beautiful! Thank you so much @doruntinaazemi for taking the risk and doing a shoot with a director who usually feels better behind the camera than in front of it. If you want to check out her beautiful fashion, go to

Standing in front of the camera in Doruntina’s amazing garments, photographed by one of the most talented photographers @jelanipomell I know – someone who made me feel completely relaxed. Jelani Pomell, you taught me so much about spreading good energy on set and helping people feel comfortable in their own skin. Can’t wait for the next RAYS of light…

When winter starts to creep in, there’s nothing better than remembering those incredible little "petites fugues" — escapes to Italy… I can’t wait to get back down to Imperia again. I miss all the lovely people who @doruntinaazemi brought together! Check out her beautiful fashion on her new website!

UNDER THE ICE wandering off to two amazing german film festivals. @landshuter.kurzfilmfestival a Bavarian institution and @shortsfestival where the best student graduation movies of France, Germany and Switzerland. - In Q&A’s we get asked about the inspiration to shoot a sci-fi movie on a glacier and what it all has to with Tarkovsky’s never finished last project “Akashic Records”

“UNDER THE ICE” - Very proud of our journey with this unique vision ! Endlessly grateful to have so many insanely creative collaborators along the way. Starting with the most important shortfilmfestival @kurzfilmtagewin and beloved genre festival @nifffestival
