Tell us about yourself. What do you do for a living? What are your interests?

I am a 34 years old boy who was born in Italy. A curious man looking overtime for something interesting, weird, and out of common. I worked as a Purchase Manager in China for three years, selecting new suppliers for an Italian company. And now I work under Luxury Furniture Fields. My main interests are: Photography (Lomography), reading books, playing RPG, doing the jigsaw, and I collect many stuff: dolls, wooden cages, shrunken heads, model ships, masks, and more.

How long have you been a Lomographer and how did you find out about the Community?

I’ve been a Lomographer since 2011 – just one year!

Describe the LomoKino in five words.

Useful, funny, speechless, cheap, demode!

How did you like shooting with the LomoKino?

I like using black and white film or dia… The results are just amazing!

What or who has inspired you to purchase and use the LomoKino?

Just myself! I wanted to just buy it.

Any funny or strange encounters you’ve had with it?

…. None yet, but I’m sure I will do!

If you could shoot any person alive or dead (or imaginary) with your LomoKino, who would it be and why?

I would like to shoot Woody Allen because he is one of my favorite filmmakers!

Kindly share to us any LomoKino movie you love the most.

I like all Satomi’s LomoKino movies, especially Ghost on the Beach.

Any future plans with your LomoKino? More shoots or a full-length film perhaps?

At the moment I don’t have any project – waiting for spring for inspiration!

Your advice to future LomoKino users.

It is a fantastic machine which is cheap and is really useful in making movies that you will not regret about! Even the scan is not so stressful!
