I come from a long line of storytellers, or as others would say, an Italian family, and after finishing a big bowl of pasta, I decided to translate that into the movies. In film, nothing is more important than the story; without a good one, it’s like a pasta without my Nonna’s secret sauce. Learning from her secret ingredient, which is love, I found that putting a piece of myself into each film helps to make it feel authentic. Through my films I aim to give people a reason to smile, to leave whatever struggles they might have at the door, and give them hope, happiness, or at least a good laugh, like I get when I tell my Nonna that I’m too full for dessert.
