This narrative storytelling pilot video project, WiR – When in Rome, is a high-production-value TV pilot that I directed in collaboration with the Italian production company KimeraFilm. The series explores the experiences of expats living in Rome, mixing humor and drama to portray the thrill and complexity of adapting to life in the Eternal City. As director, I supervised every phase of production — from developing the concept and working with an international cast, to guiding the crew on set and shaping the story in post-production. This experience reflects my ability to combine cinematic aesthetics with strong narrative structure, producing work that’s both visually engaging and emotionally grounded.
Cinematic Directing and Creative Vision
My approach to narrative storytelling video production emphasizes depth, tone, and human connection. Each scene was designed to bring out character and emotion while keeping the visuals bold and cinematic. The pilot’s visual identity and pacing mirror the energy of contemporary streaming-series storytelling, making it suitable as both narrative entertainment and branded content with storytelling ambition.
From Narrative Concept to Pilot Video Brand Impact
WiR – When in Rome demonstrates my ability to lead complex, international productions that balance creative vision and technical precision. It’s also a showcase of how story-driven video can elevate a brand’s message — transforming content from simple advertising into a narrative experience. My role required detailed logistical planning, quick decision-making, and effective communication across a diverse, multi-lingual set.
This ability to manage large-scale, high-stake projects efficiently is crucial for any agency or corporation aiming for high-impact results. This level of technical and creative oversight ensures that the final narrative storytelling pilot video meets the highest broadcast or streaming standards, guaranteeing a significant return on investment for marketing campaigns that rely on deep audience engagement.
