Filmography
I’ve spent several years working in the film industry, exploring a wide range of projects in different roles — from feature films and short narratives to commercials and branded content. Each project has taught me something new about the craft, the people, and the power of visual storytelling.
On my website, you’ll find a curated selection of my film work alongside a bit more about my background and creative process. My goal as a filmmaker is simple: to tell stories that resonate — visually, emotionally, and intellectually. I’m drawn to films that not only entertain but also provoke thought, spark conversation, and linger long after the credits roll.
Collaboration is at the heart of my process. I believe the best ideas often come from open dialogue and shared vision, so I work closely with my team to cultivate an atmosphere of trust and creativity — and to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on screen.
You can also find me on IMDb for a full list of credits and more details about my filmography.
Souls of Zen
The Japanese population’s reaction to the catastrophe of March 2011 has been described as “stoic” by the Western media. The Japanese code of conduct is indeed deeply rooted in their Buddhist traditions, and young filmmakers Tim Graf and Jakob Montrasio observe in detail what this means for the people and their religion. At graveyards, in temples, at monasteries and with families, they question the impact this triple affliction has had on the lives and beliefs of the inhabitants. How deeply do their beliefs affect their grieving? What role do the monks play in assisting people with their grief? And, what effects has this enormous catastrophe had on their religious rituals? SOULS OF ZEN inserts the events of March 2011 into the context of traditional Zen Buddhism, examining Japan’s religiousness and the beliefs of those practising it at a crucial turning point.

The Way of the Spur
Once upon a time in the east, during a hot summer like there is only one in a decade, a cowboy came to Shanghai. This was no ordinary cowboy, even though he was the common quiet and lonely type. He did not only grow up on a farm, he spend as much time herding his skills in a dojo as he spend herding his fathers cattle. And he came to Shanghai because his sister had gone missing. Upon setting his spur on Chinese ground, he swore to himself that he was not going back home to Italy without her.
