My name is Marco Gianstefani.
My better working context is when I'm shaping brand new ideas, when I'm directing on set, or when I'm editing & grading cool stuff, 'cause I love colors & contents.
Through my work experiences I've learned to learn and always accept new challenges.

I'm a director. A creative director. An editor. And a Colorist.
You can reach me here.
