Travel Film School

Hey there!

I’ve been writing scripts, directing, editing and acting since my high school years.

The first couple of thriller-comedy short films I made back in 2010 were filmed with an iPod Touch, so it turns out I’ve been Mobile Videomaking all along.

Countless short films, two documentaries and one Film & TV Production degree later, in 2017 I won Best Short Documentary at Glocal Film Festival for my documentary on schizophrenic street artist “Cosimo”, now live on Amazon Prime Video.

After an internship as Assistant Editor at a documentary production company and a couple years of freelance work as Videomaker, I began working with Travel Media House, where I’ve been filmmaking, narrating a TV series and, recently, creating our brand new Mobile Videomaking course.

Some of the best choices I’ve made so far in my career have been taking time to improve my skills and joining a team of talented and awesome people (Travel Media House), and that’s exactly what you’ll be doing by enrolling in Mobile Videomaking, thanks to our intensive and constantly updated learning program, and thanks to our ever-growing Facebook community where you can share results, get feedback and begin solid collaborations.

Looking forward to seeing your results!

Ciao, I was born in Paris in 1994, and grew up in the United States and in Italy. I started editing gameplay videos in middle school, and began filming and editing ski videos with my first camera in high school. Me and my friends were trying to imitate the many ski films and videos coming out in those years - good times! After high school, I decided to take a gap year, and that’s where my passion for travel began. That year I travelled to Hong Kong, Argentina and Australia, and I had my good old GoPro Hero 3 to document it all. Throughout university, I worked on various projects with friends like short films and music videos, but I found my true passion in travel videos, and I soon started working at Travel Media House. I’ve been working as a production and editing assistant ever since, collaborating with the talented crew here on incredible projects. I take care of the filming and research for our Mobile Videomaking course
