About Lorenzo
Lorenzo Guarnieri was born to a Florentine father and American mother in Florence, where he attended the Istituto Statale d’Arte di Porta Romana and obtained his art diploma. At the same time, he received a diploma in classical guitar, achieving maximum marks, at the Luigi Cherubini Conservatory in Florence. A number of master proficiency diplomas in solo and chamber performance practice followed. He also specialized in orchestra direction with Piero Bellugi and set up the Orchestra Mosaico Ensemble. His concert work saw him playing in the most important Italian and European music festivals. He then acquired a Diploma in Cinematographic Direction in Rome at ACT Multimedia in Cinecittà. His teachers included the Algerian director, Rachid Benhadj, Carlo Lizzani, Adriano Tagliavia and Franco Di Giacomo.
He has produced a number of short films and video clips, winning awards in national and international festivals, from RIFF in Rome to the Gulf Film Festival in Dubai. His latest medium-length film, the entirely self-produced Sonia’s Story, was selected by 80 International Festivals and won 33 awards. He is also a scriptwriter, working alongside International Script Consultants like Linda Seger (USA), Roberto Leoni (Italy), and Philip Shelley (UK). For the past five years, he has been working on his first full feature film, The Greek Passage, writing the screenplay and directing.
