Sofia
Short film
Lenght: 17 minutes
Format: digital
Luciano, in an old godforsaken family-owned attic, unearths an 8mm film with the name 'Sofia' written on a label. The film, apparently ruined by time, pictures shattered images of a girl care-freely wandering in a melancholic autumn countryside. Soon Luciano will discover that beneath those images a terrible mystery has been waiting for a long time for someone to reveal it.

Ex Nihilo – The Girl Who Dresses The Universe
Music Video
Lenght: 7 minutes
Format: digital
Out of nothing Matter was created.
Out of Matter a Goddess was born.
A Goddess inlaid with Stars dances in the Emptiness.
The Goddess' Dance creates Light so that Shadows can now exist.
The Universe as we know it is created, filled with its dim distant dying Stars.
A Sphere rustles between Goddess' hands.
Earth is born.
