I am a versatile creative professional with a strong background in acting, voice acting, and storytelling. I bring characters to life through performance, whether on stage, on screen, or behind the microphone, delivering authentic, engaging, and emotionally resonant work. As a writer, author, and copywriter, I craft compelling narratives, scripts, and persuasive content that connect with audiences and communicate ideas with clarity and impact. My expertise spans creative writing, scriptwriting, brand storytelling, and marketing copy. I combine artistic sensitivity with strategic communication, helping brands, productions, and clients tell stories that inspire, inform, and leave a lasting impression.

Hi, I’m Luca, a scriptwriter and narrative strategist based in Rome. I write high-retention scripts for YouTube and digital media: documentaries, explainers, and narrative formats (including sci-fi). I’m especially strong when the topic is complex and the goal is clarity + momentum. What you get - Hooks that actually hook (without clickbait) - Clean structure (setup → escalation → payoff) - A voice built for spoken delivery: rhythm, breath, punch - Research distilled into story (and fact-checked when needed) - Scripts that are easy to edit: clear beats, transitions, on-screen notes if requested Typical projects - YouTube documentary scripts (10–30 minutes) - Explainer videos (brand or educational) - Story-driven formats (fantasy/sci-fi/horror, character-led narration) - Combat sports scripts (MMA/boxing breakdowns + story + highlights/timestamps) - Philosophy based writings My background I’m trained in screenwriting & film production (Sapienza) and I studied cognitive science and philosophy. Before writing full-time, I worked as a consultant and led a grant-funded educational media project - useful experience when a project needs both creative direction and reliable delivery. How I work - Brief + references (channels you like / tone / target viewer) - Outline or beat map (optional, but I recommend it for long-form) - Draft → revision pass (tightening pacing, clarity, voice) - Final delivery in Google Docs (or your workflow) AI (straight, non-cringe) I use AI like a writers’ room assistant: fast brainstorming, alternatives, compression, and structure checks. The final script is written and controlled by me - original voice, clean logic, and no “generic ChatGPT vibe”. If your project requires no AI at all, I can work fully manual. 📍Rome | Remote | English & Italian If you send me one reference video you love and one you hate, I can match your tone very quickly.

I'm a 27-year-old Italian with a burning passion for the film industry. I've been a film enthusiast for as long as I can remember, and my lifelong dream is to become a storyteller - no matter the profession. Upwork feels like a natural step to take in order to be of service to a multitude of projects. I successfully graduated in Philosophy at the University of Turin in 2020, which has helped me shape my personal writing inclinations into a more mature, judicious and profound voice. After that, I dedicated myself to a number of activities, from podcasts to film productions to radio shows. Over the years, I've written, directed, acted and edited several short films that you can find on YouTube (or my resume). Creative, reliable, efficient -- I’m a results-oriented worker with great communication skills and filmmaking abilities. Always motivated in telling stories and observing the world through my inner artistic perspective. I believe in giving 101% of my effort in any activity I dedicate myself to.

Attending courses at the University of Genoa based on international studies, I am an expert in writing historical and geopolitical articles. In addition to the skills obtained with my bachelor degree in International and cooperation science, I am passionate about everything that has to do with creative writing (narrative, screenplay and fiction) and with cinema and theatre. In the last 10 years I have followed several courses taught by international acting coaches based on the Stanislavskij method, as well as regularly studying these theatrical techniques. Actually I'm attending a course based on the new screenwriting and narrative techniques.
