Short film
2026 · dir. Daniela Zenobi
Short film by Daniela Zenobi, produced by Hollis Hill (H3 Films, Los Angeles). A mother drives her daughter to the airport, toward her dreams, while unresolved matters still linger between them. Original score by Pietro Montanti.
Documentary
2026 · F. Scienza · M. Boezio

Documentary
2025 · Akeron Film · dir. Tommaso Giusto
Two distinct registers: tight, rhythmic writing for the battle sequences, ceremonial, evocative framework for the ritual banquets. Music that accompanies the cinematic reconstructions, reinforcing the epic tone without overpowering it.
Short film
2025 · F. La Barbera · D. Murgia
Short film on gambling addiction. Score built on synths, piano and strings, with dominant harmonies resolving back on the same chord: a loop of apparent resolution that never moves forward. Synth drones as unresolved inner pressure.
Short film
2025 · dir. Diego Carli
Independent horror. Classic underscore approach: subterranean tension over explicit shocks. The writing works through restraint and subtle development, valuing silence and anticipation over stingers.
Short film
2025 · F. Scienza · M. Boezio
Social docu-film from the Io Abito project. Discreet, non-invasive support: the music works by subtraction, respects the pace of the story and leaves space for voices, silence and the community dimension of the film.
Short film
2025 · dir. Thomas Kraus
Short film by Thomas Kraus. Love and rhythm intertwine in the night.
Short film
2025 · dir. Marco Martini
Inspired by Hamlet. Dark, hybrid orchestral language: traditional orchestration meets ancient instruments to build a tense, timeless atmosphere. The dense, restrained writing supports the black-and-white imagery and reinforces guilt and paranoia.
Short film
2024 · dir. Nicola Pegg
A dystopian society where individuals are evaluated by social usefulness and risk being declared "obsolete". The score is absent for most of the film and enters only in the final father-son dialogue, as an emotional revelation after prolonged restraint.
Short film
2023 · dir. Eleonora Valentino
Structure built on leitmotivs: the main theme associated with the Banshee, recurring in different forms and orchestrations. Secondary leitmotivs, tied to characters, build a coherent structure that follows the short's emotional evolution.
Feature film
2023 · dir. Diego Carli
Feature film with intimate arrangements and light rhythms. Focus on the relationships between characters.
Short film
2021 · dir. Alice Wood
Poetic short film with acoustic and ambient sounds. Music conceived for wide visual openings.
Theatre
2019
Theatre production with original music. Hybrid style between electronic and classical instruments.
