Hello!
I am an Italian director and screenwriter born in Rome.
I have 13 years of experience in writing and directing documentaries, short films, music videos, and fashion films, that have been recognised internationally and received numerous awards. My film Reshma has been presented in the official selection of the Academy Awards qualifying Indy Shorts Film Festival, and my feature documentary Leher won Best Documentary at festivals as CloseUp Edinburgh and EQAD.
Currently I am developing several film and series projects.

WHAT DOES INCLUDE?
I willl provide a story analysis, evaluation of the structure, plot, character development, pacing, and themes.

"Working with Livia is a unique opportunity to take your story to the next level. She is so passionate, qualified and sensitive and she can understand the core of your script and help you to explore it in the best way possible. Livia is capable to push you to get back writing when you’re blocked and proposes you new and amazing possibilities for your stories and your characters. She helped me writing a feature film and a series in which I felt stuck and after her consultation they are ready to be sold."
