Mattia & Alessandro's bio
Mattia Capone and Alessandro Garelli met and began their collaboration while studying Cinema and Media Engineering. They founded the TOmatografo, a collective created to welcome university projects which soon became a platform on which to publish works, initiatives and events. Their eclectic creativity leads them to experiment, writing and directing in different forms: documentaries, web series, short films. Their first awarded short film is Bar Nazionale, a noir short film produced thanks to the Torino Factory awarded as best short film in collaboration with the Turin Film Festival.
