Introduce Yourself : Paolo Mugnaini by Paolo Mugnaini

Hi all, Here's a little bit of info about me. Looking forward to meet you all and possibly do something creative! I am a highly self-motivated, award-winning (1 Emmy, 3 Tellys, Silver and Bronze Reel at the 41st Annual MCA-I Media Festival) Director/DP/Editor with experience in commercials, promos, PSAs, travel shows and documentaries. I can produce for a variety of media platforms. I am a seasoned professional who thrives in a fast-paced creative environment with an eye towards guiding projects from concept to completion. My long career has given me a deep breadth of experience writing, producing, directing, shooting and editing. My background in local news in Miami and Detroit has trained me to quickly adapt to any production environment. I have worked with many directors, including Academy Award Winner Alex Gibney and in a variety of production roles through the years; from P.A. to coordinator to sound playback operator, food-stylist and actor. I am proficient with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop as well as Final Cut Pro and I am familiar with different types of workflows, including but not limited to DSLRs. I have an editing degree from The Italian Film Institute in Rome, Italy. My love for film pushed me to study acting for 2 years at the Actor's Workshop in Detroit under the tutelage of Brian Lawrence. In March 2013 I completed a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification. I have served as a judge for Emmys twice 2009 and 2013 for the Pacific Southwest Region. I am fluent in Italian, English and Spanish
