Giorgio Caridi

The Gio (Director)

Born in Rome, Italy, Giorgio Caridi has spent his entire life making videos. After a few years at Rome’s La Sapienza University studying communications, Giorgio decided to leave academia in order to pursue film as a career. As one of twenty-five chosen from a pool of 500, he participated in Lazio’s Visual Effects specialization course in 2004, from which he received certification as a specialist at the professional level. He worked in post-production for several Italian companies—including Channel 5 Cable TV, Rai, Proxima s.r.l., and Seagull—before deciding to return to school at the New York Film Academy, where he spent 2007-2008 in the One-Year Filmmaking Program. After learning how to suite every role in a small budget production crew, he graduated with the thesis short movie “The Ocean’s Lover” that has been around festivals in 2009. Now Giorgio is working as a freelancer in post production and he keeps pursuing the career of Filmmaker. He is currently working on his own first feature project called “ THE ONE DOLLAR MOVIE “.
