IVAN BARRETTA
FILMMAKER | EDITOR
From the high-stakes adrenaline of Drive to Survive (Netflix) and All or Nothing (Amazon Prime), to the silent frontiers of space in Among the Stars (Disney) – for the last 15 years, I have specialised in unscripted documentary, using storytelling intuition to carve narratives out of mountains of footage.
As a Filmmaker and Editor, I immerse myself in every stage of creation – directing, filming, and then making the magic happen in post-production until the story finds its own heartbeat. That total involvement is where the alchemy happens.
Currently, I’m integrating generative AI into filmmaking – not as a creative replacement, but as a high-velocity tool to streamline the creative process.
Being a triple national and speaking four languages has taught me that while the world is vast, our emotions are universal; these emotions are the core factory of storytelling.
My pursuit as a storyteller is to translate raw human experience into something that people feel.
