User imagesAbout Massimo Films
Salvato Massimo
(Massimo Films) I am an Italian filmmaker and lecturer living in Newport, South Wales, since 2002. I did my degree in Economics in Italy and worked in theatre and community arts there before I decided to move to Wales. MA Film in 2004 at Newport Film School, now part of University of South Wales, where I have been a regular visiting lecturer since October 2004. I am course leader for A Level Film Studies in Coleg Gwent, Crosskeys Campus since the same year. Still in 2004, I produced and directed "Carmen", a Welsh/Italian short film drama co-production shot in Southern Italy, dealing with gender issues and rural conservatism. In 2007 my first feature film script won me a place at Ekran, European Training Programme for Film Professionals, at the Wajda Studio, in Warsaw, Poland. Since then I developed a project for a poetic film about creative inspiration called "Muse", and made a 20 minutes version of it, which was screened at Berlin International Directors' Lounge and Sofia International Film Festival in 2011. Since 2012, while filming the feature length documentary "Jonny: The Shaman of Rust", I have been involved in making community videos mainly with local artists and performers, including a promo for Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a series of promo videos filmed with teenagers, students and graduates from the University of South Wales at Green Man Festival 2013 and 2014, and at Kaya Festival in 2015; a 30 minutes documentary called "The volunteer stories" commissioned by the Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) about Welsh VSO witnesses over 55 years of VSO, telling their experiences and stories during their service, completed in 2014. In 2013 I raised funding through a Kickstarter campaign for the post-production of "Jonny: The Shaman of Rust", which was completed in 2015 and is now looking for an audience. As well as a filmmaker and a lecturer, I am a film programmer in two local Film Clubs and I am Film Club (IntoFilm charity) leader at the college where I work.
