Bio

Independent Film-maker, producer, education campaigner for the past 10 years. I founded an Educational Charity in 2012 The Wake Up Foundation, now The Wake Europe Project, with the mission of awakening a European Civic Conscience to tackle shared challenges through the use of film documentaries screenings and debates, run in collaboration with civic society organizations, and cultural institutions . We run hundreds of events throughout Europe and the world. In 2019 we founded The Wake Up Europe Documentary Film Festival, which was held in Turin, Italy and across Europe in another 6 satellite events. It was suspended during the C19 pandemic but we plan to relaunch it in 2023.
