He has two very powerful recent passion projects - a drama RITORNATO (based on his life story) and a documentary LA PORTA DELL'INFERNO, both filmed in Sicily.Both projects have been screening in film festivals, schools and cultural events around the world.

His next appearance will be a screening of the documentary, followed by a Q&A, in Hamilton, Ontario Canada at the Zoetic Theatre, Sunday, April 7 at 7 PM, presented by Sicilia Canta.

Originally from New York, his directorial debut “RITORNATO ” https://ritornatothemovie.com/ (in which he also stars) was awarded a special grant by the Russo Brothers, the Directors of Avengers: Endgame (the highest grossing film of all time), the National Italian American Foundation and the Italian Sons and Daughters of America. Based on a true story about finding his roots, "Ritornato" was shot entirely on location in Limina, Sicily, the hometown of his Grandfather Agatino Alibrandi. "Ritornato" went on to win many film festivals worldwide and was one of the only American films selected for the prestigious Taormina Film Festival in 2020. It continues to touch people worldwide. Recently, "Ritornato" was chosen as the closing night film at the New Orleans Italian Film Festival.
