Film Directors & Producer
Written By Michael W. Bell

Mike had the pleasure of catching up with film director and film enthusiast Andrea Ratti during the COVID-19 lockdown. Initially we talked through the progress we have made on the music score for Andrea's in production short film, after which he kindly agreed to talk to us live for the channel.

Andrea has experience in several areas in film production including working with 16mm, sfx, and vfx, filming underwater, large crowds, working with animals, guns /other weapons, filming abroad, late scripts, challenging schedules, and harsh weather. He is literate with Mac (own), MovieMagic, and all AD administration and fluent in Italian. He has trained in Health and Safety with a current first aid certificate with a 100% safety record throughout all work.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Andrea for taking the time to talk to us and urge you all to check out his links below!
