História

Sami Schinaia, born in 1989 and based in Milan. In 2009, together with Ludovico Amen Galletti, he founded SÄMEN, an internationally successful film duo. The two began their career directing music videos: a path that led them to collaborate with some of the mainstream labels, such as Sony, Emi Music and Universal. SÄMEN duo quickly became a point of reference for the Italian and international advertising industry, working for brands such as IKEA, Nike, Bmw, Lamborghini, Vodafone, Greenpeace, and with prominent testimonials like Usain Bolt, Bebe Vio and Gianluigi Buffon. While maintaining the focus on advertising, since 2015 Sami has started to give more space to his passion for the world of cinema, directing several short films like RUMORI, starring Matilda De Angelis and Andrea Arcangeli. 2021 marks an important milestone for Sami, splitting from the duo SÄMEN and pursue a more personal aesthetic.

NOPE!
Director
The short film is a reflection on our society, as it looks at our relationship with drugs and the internet and the way these forms of addiction tend to dilute the value we place on human interactions. However, Nope! isn’t a criticism generally associated with these themes, but rather an ironic, light and playful insight into today’s youth culture. The new generation of dreamers and creators is represented as fluorescent, digital and slightly foggy. In line with Schinaia’s directorial style, the short film relies on compelling visuals and sound as much as on the script to unfold its narrative. Working exclusively with a very young team across styling, music, cinematography, post-production, sound design, graphic design and illustration, Nope! becomes a tribute to the fresh and innovative creative talent of tomorrow.
