Reimagining Stories for a World of Converging Technologies
Forging New Paths in Narrative Experience
Where traditional storytelling meets emerging realities, I partner with visionaries to transform complex ideas into emotional experiences that forge genuine connections in an ever-evolving technological landscape.
Transforming Ideas into Powerful Cross-Dimensional Experiences
I help large organizations turn complex ideas into emotional, multi-platform experiences that connect with audiences. My expertise blends traditional storytelling with emerging technologies like AI, XR, and immersive media.
The Convergence of Forms
We stand at a pivotal moment where storytelling transcends its traditional boundaries. Today's rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, extended reality, quantum computing, and biotechnology aren't merely creating new tools—they're fundamentally reshaping how we conceive, create, and experience narrative.
A book is no longer just a book—it's a portal to an expansive universe that can manifest across multiple media and platforms. A film isn't confined to a screen but can become an environment we inhabit. The boundaries between creator, creation, and audience are becoming wonderfully permeable.
My work exists at this fascinating intersection, where I help visionaries navigate the space between what storytelling has been and what it's becoming. Together, we'll explore how your ideas can maintain their essential human core while expanding into forms previously unimagined.
About Matteo
For 25+ years, I've explored the fertile borderlands between established and emerging media—where innovation and classical storytelling collide and collaborate. My journey has placed me alongside visionaries like Julie Dash, Dr. Dre, Lionel Chetwynd, and Arthur Secunda, yielding international recognition including a Telly Award for "An Improbable Dream" (CBC), Best Art-Related Film for "Ten Days with Art" (AIFA), and Best Editing at the European Independent Film Festival.
I begin not with technology, but with listening. The tools evolve, but the essence of storytelling remains unchanged: human connection first, everything else follows. As we forge new paths in narrative experience, my approach combines reverence for timeless narrative principles with excitement for the unprecedented possibilities emerging technologies offer.
