He has a consolidated experience in political and institutional communication, as proven by a recent video shot for the Library of the Senate of the Italian Republic, as well as several institutional spots, such as “Puglia perfetta” directed for Governor Nichi Vendola’s campaign at the 2005 regional elections in Apulia and winner of the Galà della Politica the same year. He is also committed to social campaigns for the progress and culture of Southern Italy, as the recent initiative “Perotti Point” dedicated to demolish the eco-monster Punta Perotti on the seafront of Bari, that brought together dozens of filmmakers from all around Italy to realize a collective documentary film on the event. He is also a professor and a member of the Academy of Italian Cinema.
