Trailer for the short film "Lady of Taille" After the death of her domineering father, Lady Rosalba clings to the hope of reunion with her forbidden love, José Antonio—her family’s exiled stable master—until a long-awaited letter shatters her expectations.

What if history remembered you only through the mask your oppressor gave you? Thrilled to share my latest completed and registered feature screenplay Marble Silence – The Crown of Pain and the Emperor’s Veil. A haunting historical drama inspired by the true story of Sporus, the boy crowned as “empress” by Emperor Nero. This is a unique perspective on an infamous chapter of Roman history not from the seat of power, but through the eyes of the ruled. Logline: In the opulence of Imperial Rome, a young boy is silenced, crowned, and erased. But beneath the marble mask of an empire, a soul refuses to die. This project offers a bold, human-centered approach to historical storytelling, blending emotional intimacy with epic scale, a vision unlike anything currently in the market. The screenplay is complete, registered, and ready for production. I am seeking representation and collaboration with producers or production companies passionate about prestige historical dramas with a fresh lens. Here’s a short visual teaser I’ve created and I’d love to hear your thoughts and connect with like-minded creatives.

I finished my showreel about WWII. Made for music appreciation, not visuals. Feedback is welcome.

Thank you for watching my pitch for Rest In War - a four-season historical drama (fully written and registred) exploring survival, resistance, and moral ambiguity against the backdrop of WW2. If the story resonates with you, I'd be grateful if you'd also check out the pilot script available on my profile. Your feedback, ratings, and comments are always welcome and truly appreciated - they help me grow and improve as a screenwriter. Thank you for your time and consideration!
