BIOGRAPHY OF THE DIRECTOR
A director of Italian origin, he is particularly interested in stories of immigration. His recent comedic short film "American Marriage" tells the story of an Italian man who marries an American citizen to obtain a green card. Giorgio believes that stories of immigration don't necessarily have to be sad, but can be told with humor.
