Tommaso's bio
Tommaso Diaceri (1997), lives between Milan and Rome. From 2017 to 2020 he’s studied at Civica Scuola di Cinema Luchino Visconti. After his studies, he made the short film ‘Sempreverdi’ (Evergreen Forest) that allowed him to enter the film directing course at Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia di Roma. Nowadays he is a first-year student. From the imaginary point of view, he is very bonded to coming-of-age stories and to horror / psychological thrillers. ‘Sempreverdi’ travels through these dimensions and manifests the desire to keep them together.
