Filmmaking fine artist Giorgio Da Vinci says, "the camera is the 21st-century paintbrush." When Giorgio was 19, he began taking inspiration from the likes of Da Vinci. Using a paintbrush, he would paint beautiful portraits, but now alongside his painting, the camera is his paintbrush; they go hand in hand, he says, with the camera being today's age of art. The camera has allowed him to create dynamic portraits. In contrast, a paintbrush and canvas are limited in their ability to create 3D, draw you in stories, and express emotion, whereas a camera is infinite.
Giorgio inspires filmmakers in a revolution against the traditional way of filmmaking as a way to land roles with prominent media platforms. He believes in transitioning from hiring multiple personnel to complete a documentary to solo filmmakers who film, direct and edit themselves - a more desirable option for companies like Netflix and Apple, the most apparent reason being the cost advantage.
Giorgio films, directs, and edits his documentaries to resemble his first love, fine art. He believes much of his success is due to his unique style of documentary production and his background in fine art: oil pigment, brush, canvas, and portrait. If one can perform at a high level with fine art, one can master the camera but with a deeper understanding than most filmmakers without such background. When you can create thought-provoking pictures expressively with oil, a camera with high-tech lenses, settings, apertures, and microphones is more straightforward. His work is intimate. Intimate like a mother and their child. It captivates audiences, and captivation leads to viewership. Viewership leads to a willingness to pay from film juggernauts and a desire for more production to continue the entertainment loop.
Giorgio dropped out of high school at 16 to take care of three siblings after his Dad suffered from chronic depression; he became the man of the house and conditioned his mind to be a selfless provider. Knowing the finances needed, he needed to strike big, and with his creative mind, ideas were endless. Not long after, he sold paintings to Logan Paul and Faze Censor. Now, in 2022 Giorgio founded multi-six figure success, Storiium. Director of Sean Kingston's upcoming documentary with purchase offers from Netflix and YouTube Red and renowned bodybuilder Shawn Ray's featured documentary, where he'll interview sports legends like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ronnie Coleman ('Yeah Buddy!") and Jay Cutler.
Where most directors begin in Los Angeles, Giorgio has risen from the dust in Dallas, Texas, without connections, fame, or relations and burst the Hollywood film bubble. Alongside growing Storiium to a multi-million documentary producing machine, filming for media powerhouses, Netflix, Amazon, Apple, and YouTube and continuing fine art, he aims to be an Emmy award-winning director before he is 30. He is 25 years old at the time of this writing.
Giorgio's goal with today's article was to convey his goal to be one of the most inspirational leading filmmakers in today's generation. He hopes this introduction intrigues you to watch his journey and join him along the way, enjoying his work, contributing, and learning. Ultimately non, filmmaking readers to enjoy his films and for reading filmmakers, join him in the panel of Tarantino, Spielberg, Burns, and who knows, possibly, in centuries to come, be likened to the Da Vinci of camera.
