About Cosimo

Hi, I’m Cosimo!

I’m a Director and DoP based in Milan, with over 15 years of experience in video production.
I started my career as a camera assistant and technician, later moving behind the camera as DoP and then into directing.
My specialties are cinematic storytelling, lighting and camera direction, along with crew management and project supervision from brief to delivery.
For four years I worked as a Promo Producer for a major TV network, and for two years I led a video production unit in a Milan-based agency, developing advertising, corporate and documentary projects.
I’m confident working with both professional and non-professional talent, keeping shoots efficient, collaborative and visually consistent.
I’m based in Milan but often travel across Italy and Europe for productions.
