Biography

Im a simple kid out of NYC that somehow grew up all over the world thanks to my folks that worked for Alitalia. They taught me to be open to any possibility and to enjoy what life has to offer while it's offering it. I've learned a few languages, a few skills, and a few tricks to make me interesting enough at a dinner party to be invited back to, or added as a friend on facebook. On these basic skills I plan to dominate the film world. Simple right? Backstory: I studied under some of the greatest, pompous film minds at UCSB while taking courses in pornography and mime from the leaders of the field. I've always searched out the odd, the different, the obtuse, and tried to dissect it to see why it didnt fit, but still existed. I have an artist's heart with a scientist's mind, which is why I take interest in all aspects of filmmaking, the only true art-form which combines elements from all the arts and sciences. Yes there was a bit of pot in college, but who was looking? Right now I have a dream job, working at a very cool post house a few blocks from my house in NYC. I cut mainly beauty spots, which would be tough if I didnt go home to the most beautiful woman I am fortunate to call my partner in crime. Together we run a small, very independent, very raw production house in the east village called the Concrete Brothel, Together with a select group of wickedly talented artist we document the city and the life it offers for all those ballsy enough to live it. If its underground, interesting, and made in NYC then we're on it. To be trusted into such sacred grounds is a testament to how others view us and trust us, which is why we do what we do in the first place. I see myself down the line doing exactly what I'm doing; winning contests, captivating, entertaining, challenging people to think, to laugh, to love and to live. I am fortunate enough to be fueled with enough passion and enough skill, and connected to some very talented, driven individuals to never have to stop doing what I love. Feel free to contact me. I love meeting new people. Ciao! Roberto.
