About
Prospero Pensa is an Italian filmmaker, born in Milan in 1993. He started playing with cameras in high school, shooting videos for his local theatrical company's "Whodunnit" shows. After his bachelor's in modern letters, he decided to pursue a career in filmmaking by studying in Civica Scuola di Cinema in Milan, then getting his master's at London Film School. His style uses irony as a main tool to tell bittersweet human stories. His interest in everyday human comedy comes from his observation of the neighbourhood in Milan where he grew: a mixed popular and bourgeois environment where conservative Catholicism and liberalism meet, creating a fascinating source for ideas.

Prospero’s goal is to write and direct stories that rely on their originality and unique style rather than big budgets and names. Nothing is as universal as the simple humour behind the troubles of the human condition, and that is the story that Prospero wants to tell, with his own voice.
