MY FILMS

1. Paper Swan is a fully Italian story: a tender love unfolding across decades, shaped by memory, time, and emotion, reminding us that some connections don’t fade even when everything else changes. But this short is also a gentle provocation. Today we’re glued to technology, always online, always rushing. And yet, back then, a single piece of paper was enough to create a thought, a game, a feeling. Most of all, we had waiting. The kind of waiting we’ve almost lost in the “instant everything” era. But waiting used to mean value. It meant imagining. It meant giving meaning before the moment arrived. Paper Swan lives exactly there: where technology can speed things up, but should never steal the soul of the story. I combined traditional art direction with modern AI tools to tell something deeply human, where AI isn’t the star. It’s the invisible crew behind the scenes.

 

2. Everything is a simulation A prompt that questions reality, identity, and free will in the age of artificial intelligence. My project: NPC – Not Personal Choice. The story follows a woman trapped in a flawless routine. Each day she wakes up, sits down, smiles, and says: “Good morning. What a beautiful day.” Until one morning… the voice glitches. The eyes flicker. A system error. A crack in the loop. And someone’s watching. One click is all it takes to restore her: RESET.

Tools used: Hailuo AI (video & animation)  Kling AI (lipsync) ElevenLabs (voice) Adobe After Effects (editing & glitch) ChatGPT (prompting, writing, narrative direction) 💡 An intense experience that left me thinking: how many of our choices are truly personal?

3. Beyond the Dream is a short film created for the 4th edition of the ‪@RunwayML Gen:48 contest. Through a dreamy visual style, the film tells the story of a young boy who, after finding a magical amulet in a dusty attic, is transported into fantastic worlds where every wish comes true. Amidst surreal landscapes, floating planets, and skies painted with light, he eventually realizes that even the most beautiful dreams feel empty without someone to share them with. Waking up, he learns that dreams are precious, but it is real people who make life truly special.
