About Alessio

Born in California, raised in New York City, and based in Austin, where I recently received a Master's in Screenwriting from the University of Texas. I tell stories about bureaucracy, commodification, and the fight for total liberation in high concept thrillers and darkly absurd comedies. I finished as a Semifinalist in the 2020 Academy Nicholl Fellowship.
