Alex Infascelli, a renowned Italian film director, was born in Rome in 1967. At the tender age of 21, he embarked on a journey to Los Angeles to pursue his passion for music, playing in various local bands and eventually landing a job as a production assistant for Propaganda Films.
As he honed his skills, Infascelli worked his way up the ranks, becoming a 2nd Assistant Director and collaborating with esteemed directors such as Dominic Sena, Rebecca Blake, Mark Romanek, and Mark Pellington. After gaining valuable experience, he returned to Italy to start his directing career.
Infascelli's big break came in two short years, as he emerged as one of Italy's most sought-after music video directors. He collaborated with the illustrious Bernardo Bertolucci, directing a video for "Lucy" by The Cocteau Twins for the "Stealing Beauty" soundtrack.
In 1995, Infascelli directed a short film as part of the feature film "De Gegerazione," a project that brought together several debuting directors, including Asia Argento. The following year, he participated in the episodic feature film "Esercizi Di Stile," alongside prominent directors such as Dino Risi, Mario Monnicelli, and Sergio Citti.
The year 2000 marked Infascelli's debut in feature films with "Almost Blue," a critically acclaimed film that won numerous awards, including the "David di Donatello," "Nastro D'Argento," and "Ciak d'Oro." The film was also selected for the "Semaine de la Critique" and the "Camera d'Or" at the 54th Cannes Film Festival, and was a finalist at the Hollywood Film Festival and selected for the competition at Montreal.
Infascelli's second feature, "The Vanity Serum," was released in 2004 and received international recognition, being selected for the Sao Paulo International Film Festival, the Brussels Fantasy Film Festival, and Pifan in Puchon, Korea.
