Showreel
Buio come il cuore
Director
"I have had the pleasure of working with Marco on different occasions and have always found it a delight. His integrity and sensitivity with both script and artists allied with his ability to inspire crew while being aware of budget and time restraints have made any collaboration a joy. He has a distinctive style which is evident in all his work, in particular this can be seen in ‘Beneath The Trees’ and more recently in Jackplot’. "
