Alessandro Riconda is a London-based filmmaker (born in Ivrea, near Torino, Italy). My early work was broadcast by BBC, FOX, MTV and Comedy Central, but he is best known for the short film “Shame and glasses”, which was acquired by HBO Europe and MoMa New York, and was an official selection in over 200 festivals, including the Academy qualifying TIFF Kids, Chicago Children’s Int Film Festival, Warsaw Film Festival, Uppsala Film Festival and Guanajuato Film Festival, and won the “Best Overall” award at Chicago Int. Film Festival’s CineYouth section. While developing a slate of personal projects, he works as a freelance Script Editor, Script Coordinator, and Script Reader for Film and HETV Drama. My credits include “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”, Marvel’s “Secret Invasion”, “The Peripheral”, and “Master of None”. He also supports Netflix’s International Original Features team providing coverage and development notes on their commissioning slate. Prior to this, he also assisted Oscar-winning directors Peter Cattaneo and Sebastian Lelio on their feature films “Military Wives” and “Disobedience”. He is a BAFTA Connect and Directors UK member.
