Federico J. Arioni began making short films at a very young age, driven by a passion for storytelling. Self-taught, he honed his craft and expanded his knowledge until he created his first feature film, A Fistful of Pesos (2015), a crime film influenced by the works of Sergio Leone. In 2019, he completed his second feature, Nobody is Crazy, a drama with fantastical and psychological elements about a teenager with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and his connection to time travel. In both films, Arioni served as writer, director, and producer.
