WHO I AM
CineGiangi
a.k.a. Gianluca Danieli
writer - screenwriter - playwright
I graduated in London in with a BA in Film & TV at UAL, with a Master in Screenwriting at MET Film School.
I have worked both behind and in front of the camera, and on stage, experimenting with every genre I could since the age of 11. From Shakespearean tragedy to musical comedy, writing both in English and Italian.
​
In the summer of 2022 I published the Italian novel "The Woman with White Eyes", published by Gruppo Albatros – Il Filo (Rome), winner of 4 literary prizes.
​
I am co-writer of the social-themed feature film "Parallel Lives" (with Herman Zadra).​
​
My unproduced English screenplay "The Shaolin Nun" won the Platinum award in the WRPN.tv competition (Spring 2024 - Delaware USA, first place in action screenplay category at the Košice International Film Festival (2024), and the Official Selection at the Oxford Script Awards 2024 and Hollywood Best Indie Film Awards (May 2024).
​
I worked as a reader and analyst of English-language screenplays for the "Outstanding Screenplays" platform.
​
And I am the author of the CineGiangi Blog. Some of my (Italian) articles have been published on 'The Filmmaker's Eye'.
​
In all the things I create, even the most dramatic, I always like to insert a pinch of (black) humor.
​
When I'm not writing or acting, I read three books at the same time and am involved in various social activities, especially autism awareness.
