MAUTO
2022, EXHIBITION CAMPAIGN
Torino's National Automobile Museum (MAUTO) is one of Italy's most relevant car collections.
One of the many temporary exhibitions of 2022, Car Vision was presented during International music festival Eurovision, hosted in Torino that year.
A nine-day exhibition with cars coming last minute from other museums needed a different production strategy than usual.
With only cars already present in the museum at my disposal, the goal was to give a sense of what the exhibition would feel like without giving false expectations about what would be featured.
Grand Hotel Sitea
2015, WEB AD
Once upon a time, I needed a luxury hotel as a location for a short film. I didn’t have the budget for it, but they sure didn’t mind the offer of a free web ad.

Lyft’s BayWheels
SCRIPT / STORYBOARDS / ANIMATIC / SOUND DESIGN
When I like a product, I instinctively want to advertise it. Unfortunately, I happened to be out of the US for a while when I wrote this ad, but it played so vividly in my head I just had to make it one way or another.

SCRIPT / EDITING / VOICEOVER / SOUND DESIGN
An ad for a fictional brand made entirely of stock footage. Meant for Filmsupply’s 2019 EditFest contest.
Shell V-Power
SCRIPT / CAMERA / EDITING & COLOR / SOUND DESIGN
An ad for a 2013 MOfilm online contest. As little experience as I had at the time, I knew the importance of not showing off your camera for too long at a gas station in the middle of nowhere at 11pm. Storyboarding the whole thing meant being out of there in under two hours.

SCORING EXPERIMENTS
…wait. weren’t you a video guy?
Yes.
And after years of spending hours browsing for the perfect existing stock music to fit my videos, I decided to try a new approach. Because we live in the best time for creators, with only a MIDI keyboard and a some essential knowledge of Ableton Live 11, I was able to put together some "spec" tunes myself.
Not quite Hans Zimmer yet, but it’s a start.
