Stefano Ferrari is a young Italian cinematographer based in New York. He has always been a firm believer in working hard, and working your way from the bottom up. At 16, he started working as an electrician for a major opera and theater production, that travelled all over Europe. Cut to 10 years later. He has now made the transition to cinema, and is a fully formed director of photography. Everyone who has worked with him, knows him as a deeply committed collaborator who brings that extra something to the party (along with his Italian accent) no matter how big or small the budget may be. His imagination and curiosity combined with his technical skills make him a versatile director of photography who truly loves what he does.

Along with talking about what led him to his point; his journey, his dreams and ambitions. His insight in the profession of a cinematographer also leads us to ponder about the importance of cinematography in general. What does it take to become a good director of photography? How important is it to share the director’s vision?

Two films presented and screened at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival’s Short Film Corner – the section of the Marché du Film dedicated to short films – will bear his name in the credits. They are Everything Will Be Alright and The Rhythm in Me. With Cannes fast approaching, he tells us about the films, introducing them to us, and revealing his work on them.
