Narrative Films & Web Series

Here is how this works in practice. Narrative film and web series production in Italy lives alongside the country's auteur custom — emerging filmmakers cycle through Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome, the Civica Scuola di Cinema Luchino Visconti in Milan, the Torino Film Festival's TorinoFilmLab residency and the David di Donatello's short-film and emerging-director categories. We set up production for short films, web series, digital shorts and branded narrative content shooting on Italian soil, with crews scaled to the budget realities of digital-first work.

Here is the short of it. Our team works out of Rome and Milan as primary production bases, with reach into Naples, Turin, Florence and Palermo when location calls for it, and we draw on the Italian Film Commissions network to secure permits efficiently for the compressed schedules digital production usually runs on.

Here is the breakdown. Our delivery approach matches resources to creative drive. Festival-targeted shorts get cinematic packages — Arri Alexa kits, skilled gaffers and 1st ACs from the Cinecittà crew community, sound mixers comfortable in Italian location dialect, and post finishing graded to David di Donatello and Nastri d'Argento submission specs at facilities in Rome and Milan. Web series for YouTube, Vimeo, RaiPlay and the Italian arms of the major streamers use efficient episodic workflows — block-shooting locations, smart scene matching tracking, and sites-optimised delivery to vertical and horizontal specs.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Branded narrative content runs through Italian commercial work houses with experience servicing the brand-content lines at Mediaset Infinity, La Repubblica and the corporate channels at Eni, Generali and Pirelli. Throughout, we work to CCNL Cinema Audiovisivo terms where applicable and the MiC tax credit framework for projects that qualify under the short-film and emerging-director schemes.
