Tommaso Mazzarini
Director Tommaso Mazzarini

My name is Tommaso Mazzarini, and I come from Jesi, a small town in central Italy. What draws me to cinema is its power to reshape reality—to not just reflect the world, but reinterpret it through my own lens. I’ve worked across various roles on set, from production to the camera department, but directing is where I feel most at home. It allows me to transform abstract ideas into images that speak, question, and sometimes even challenge meaning. I’m particularly obsessed with the postmodern relationship between humans and technology—a recurring theme in my work that explores how machines mirror, distort, and redefine our identities

Vesselin Nedelchev
Director Vesselin Nedelchev

My name is Vesselin Nedelchev, I come from Sofia, Bulgaria. I’ve always been passionate about cinema and music, two forms of expression that deeply shape the way I see the world. Alongside directing, I work as a music producer and sound designer, where I explore the emotional layers of storytelling through sound. I’m fascinated by the idea of the Renaissance man—someone who doesn’t limit themselves to one field, but embraces a wide range of knowledge and artistic disciplines to create meaningful and multifaceted work.
