Hi, I'm Seb.

Who I am

I've been making films since 2008. I started as a grip on a TV commercial in Italy, and spent the next five years learning the business from the ground up, working as a runner and as a production and distribution assistant while studying video production at ITS Roberto Rossellini in Rome.

In 2015 I moved to London and did an MA in Filmmaking at Goldsmiths. My graduation short, Gadget, premiered at the 42nd Boston Science Fiction Film Festival.

Today I'm the co-founder of null.film, an independent production and distribution company based in London with roots in Puglia. I direct and produce, and I'm hands-on with everything from props and practical effects to the digital side.

Why Shoot & Screen

Independent filmmaking teaches you to make every pound count. You learn quickly which kit earns its place in the bag and which just looks good in an advert. You also become fussy about how films are watched: the right TV settings, proper sound, a screen big enough to do the picture justice.

Shoot & Screen is where I share both halves: the kit I'd actually buy to make films, and the kit I'd buy to watch them.

How I pick

• Every post is five picks, chosen for real use rather than spec sheets.
• I combine my own filmmaking experience with careful research of current reviews and owner feedback. Where I haven't used something myself, I say so.
• Nobody pays to be on a list. Links earn a small commission, which keeps the lights on. Read the full disclosure.
