Interview– Alessandro Amico Italian Filmmaker

Written By Ellen Bennett
 

Alessandro grew up in Italy traveling with his parents who are magicians. He was a Fashion Week photographer in Milan, but after a job photographing orphans in Uganda, he had a change of heart and decided to work for Cru's Agape Studenti and use his art to introduce Italians to Christian themes through high-caliber films. You'll enjoy his fascinating story and his winsome Italian accent!
