About Me

If you want to request me as a "friend" please do, but just read this first:
Don't get me wrong, I love connections and I'll be happy if you want to be connected. But I don't usually like people sending add requests without saying anything else. I hate to sound snob, but I'm sort of tired of it. Here is why:
I understand we all are here to be visible. We also are here for "networking", horrible word that means to get to know each other works and views, learn from other people critiques, see if we can fit in each others projects, etc. etc. All of that needs some sort of interaction, don't you agree?
So, if you send a request without explaining the reason, I'll take that you did it so that you can have your picture in yet another page.
It's very likely that I'm not going to respond, unless I am in an exceptionally good mood. So, please, when you send a request also send a message to let me know that there's a reason for your request. Pretty please.
p.s.: there's also a short entry on the topic on my blog.
And since we're talking about the blog, there's one I'd like to have everybody's opinion on, it's called "working with a composer". Directors and such are especially welcome to comment.All the pieces of music here are just excerpts.
"Selezione" is the title track from the short film
Selezione Del Personale, by Simone Andrizzi.
Please go to my website for more information and music.
I'm open to collaborate on movies, documentaries, shorts, commercials, etc. etc. etc.!
From a beautiful short movie by Martin Patrice Ndong Eyebe. Read more on my blog!

More than often, when Directors ask for music for a project, they ask for some music "like" this or that (famous name here). Or, they send the composer some pre-made music, and say: do something like ...
