• When did you realised you wanted to be a Filmmaker\Actor\Writer?

From a very early age I started going to the movies and from the very first moment it was an incredible experience for me. When I was a child I usually played at making home movies, I have always been a big fan of films, photography and reading.

What do you think about Acting/ filmmaking schools?

There is no doubt that acquiring tools that make you a bigger and better artist will always be a positive thing, I can also point out that in some cases acting schools give you discipline.

What do you wish to yourself as a Filmmaker\Actor \Writer?

A man who never limits his imagination and the desire to tell stories with which he can reach different people. Considering that cinema is not only a means of entertainment, it could also be a way of making us better people. Furthermore, it can create a connection with people who are also with you, in the same room, at the same time. This happens as a result of the message transmitted by the film itself, which, in most cases, are similar to your reality.
