Director

Lorenzo Sisti is an emerging Italian director based in Los Angeles, California. He departed Italy for his American adventure as a young, high school graduate. Lorenzo then graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a bachelor’s degree in Still Photography and later obtained a certificate’s degree in Filmmaking from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Lorenzo became a member of the international cinematographer’s guild IATSE Local 600 in Los Angeles thanks to his contribution as a set photographer for local and international productions. It is precisely through the world of still photography that Lorenzo has developed a powerful narrative language in which he creates images full of meaning which define his cinematic style. Sweet Home marks the debut of Lorenzo Sisti as a director.
