INDEPENDENT PRODUCTIONS HANDMADE IN ROMA
...so i apologise for the broken English, my dyslexic brain is still learning proper English grammar. - Every single thing on this website is made by myself only, without any collaborators, including: every single piece of content, all the web design, all the research and studies, digital marketing and all the process and tasks involved in creating and running a multimedia blog about arts and personal growth. So bear with me if you will find a few small errors or glitches here and there, you can send me a mail pointing at them for a quick fix!
STREET PHOTOGRAPHY & REPORTAGES
A project based on seeking the knowledge that are hidden inside the adventure of wondering around. Join me on my daily walks thru cities, unusual places or unwalked paths, experiencing & documenting everything on the way.
INDEPENDENT FILM-MAKIMG
A mobile studio in my backpack is used to capture both real or fabricated vibes and stories of the world around us. Fascinated by the history of yesterday, informed about the cultures of today and excited by the possibilities of tomorrow, I try to document what’s around me while filtering it thru my senses. - I write, film, edit and produce all my movies from my laptop, usually on a bench somewhere.
FOOD & INGREDIENTS
A project about the amazing ingredients of this fascinating planet. Whether you’re in Napoli or Tokyo, start tasting the distinct ingredients of a destination in order to absolutely experience it, no matter if it’s a food cart in Chinatown selling 50 cent fried dumplings or a Michelin star excellence. Also, start teaching yourself how to cook better by having a deeper relationship with your ingredients.
PAINTINGS & ILLUSTRATIONS
A project based on feelings & places decomposed and reassembled by a brain, puked thru some natural pigments or digital pixels. Everywhere I go i’ll capture what interests me on my sketchbook, en plein air & with whatever media it’s in my backpack that day, hopefully telling a two sided story with a handful of strokes.
#walkwithsuany
◼︎ Does my telephone gallery intrigue you? Would you like to be part of one of my series? Share a photo of your hand holding your daily instrument, whatever it is, and tell me the story or anecdote of the framed subject, just like in one of my posts. - Sharing is one of the fundamental aspects of knowledge, as much as the ability to be able to see something from different points of view, so with this project I try to collect stories and information on any type of issue, or different perspectives on the same subject , all thanks to you folks! Now it's up to you to choose whether to remain a spectator or whether to start a dialogue with me and the rest of the world, because information that is taken for granted for you could be a revelation for someone else. - Don't forget to tag me and use #walkwithsuany to help me keep track of your stories!
collaborations:
◼︎ In 2011 I knocked on Casey Neistat's studio to film a short film about him but we started a long collaboration ever since. Over the years I worked as an assistant and cameramen for the production of various videos for major international brands and at the same time I had the privilege of learning all the technical and logistical aspects necessary to manage a world-leading studio in the sector, also learning the mechanisms for the production of professional marketing campaigns, as well as all the secrets and background in managing a channel with several million subscribers. - In February 2015 I joined Casey and Matt Hackett in a new project as a beta tester to try and improve a new video sharing app. Initially, I knew almost nothing about the project except that the main goal was to develop a more honest App, without filters, without previews and above all an App that did not block the view of real life between the user's eyes and the subject in front of their. After months of testing and hundreds of tweaks, the App has landed on the App Store and has been used by millions of users around the world, connecting people and their stories with the opportunity to share your reactions from the I live with them. On November 28, 2016, CNN announced the acquisition of Beme for an amount of US $ 25 million and the app was officially closed on January 31, 2017. Thanks to everyone who shared their real life with me in the life span of the app! (I have nothing to do with Beme inc. After the CNN acquisition)
FREE DAILY ENTERTAINMENT WITH ART, CULTURE & GENERAL INTEREST SUBJECTS
"The crowd is his element, as the air is that of birds and water of fishes. His passion and his profession are to become one flesh with the crowd. For the perfect flâneur, for the passionate spectator, it is an immense joy to set up house in the heart of the multitude, amid the ebb and flow of movement, in the midst of the fugitive and the infinite. To be away from home and yet to feel oneself everywhere at home; to see the world, to be at the centre of the world, and yet to remain hidden from the world—impartial natures which the tongue can but clumsily define. The spectator is a prince who everywhere rejoices in his incognito. The lover of life makes the whole world his family, just like the lover of the fair sex who builds up his family from all the beautiful women that he has ever found, or that are or are not—to be found; or the lover of pictures who lives in a magical society of dreams painted on canvas. Thus the lover of universal life enters into the crowd as though it were an immense reservoir of electrical energy. Or we might liken him to a mirror as vast as the crowd itself; or to a kaleidoscope gifted with consciousness, responding to each one of its movements and reproducing the multiplicity of life and the flickering grace of all the elements of life."
Charles Baudelaire, "The Painter of Modern Life", (New York: Da Capo Press, 1964). Orig. published in Le Figaro, in 1863
