Alessio's Film Playbook
A detailed, practical filmmaking guide shaped by two years at Juilliard, four years at the New York Film Academy and over 10 years working in Hollywood. Covering more than 200 shot types and use cases, it brings together directing, performance, cinematography, lighting, lenses, visual language and scene construction—including guidance on pairing the right lens and film grain with any lighting setup—then translates that knowledge into ready-to-use AI prompts for better, stronger shots. Built for hybrid filmmaking: the same principles work whether you are shooting with AI tools or a real camera and crew. These are the techniques, lessons and production methods behind my award-winning work and opportunities with major companies and productions.
