WHO I AM
CineGiangi
a.k.a. Gianluca Danieli
writer - screenwriter - playwright
I hold a degree in Film & TV from UAL London and a master’s in multimedia writing from MET Film School.
Since the age of 11, I’ve been exploring the art of storytelling, working on sets, stages, and scripts—from Shakespearean tragedy to musical comedy, in both Italian and English.
My novel, The White-Eyed Girl (2022), has won five literary awards. I co-wrote the social-themed film Parallel Lives, winning the Lion Glass Award nfor Best Screenplay at the 81st Venice International Film Festival. My screenplay, The Shaolin Nun, has earned international accolades, including Platinum at WRPN.tv and First Prize at the Košice International Film Festival.
In 2024, my first dark comedy, A (nearly*) Perfect Heist, premiered on stage.
I am currently the lead writer for the historical crime TV series The Mysteries of the Bargello.
I craft stories that blend dark humor with depth, focusing on complex female characters.
When I’m not writing, I’m juggling three books at once or engaging in social causes, especially autism awareness.
