Giacomo Arrigoni is an Italian screenwriter and director working across feature films, television series, and documentaries, with a strong focus on character-driven storytelling.

His work explores genre through an emotional and psychological lens, often blending thriller and drama to examine themes of identity, guilt, labor, ethics, and the invisible forces that shape individual lives. Whether working in fiction or documentary, his approach centers on human behavior, moral tension, and the relationship between characters and their social or geographic environment.

He co-wrote the feature films "State of Consciousness", starring Emile Hirsch (distributed in the U.S. by Lionsgate), and "Eddie & Sunny", starring Gabriel Luna. Both films are available on Amazon Prime Video and sit at the intersection of thriller and psychological drama.

As a director, his credits include the feature film "The Rule of Lead", a supernatural thriller exploring the theme of invisible children, and the short film "Into the Gloom", which uses the language of the thriller to address violence against women. He is also the creator of the TV series "#Goldfish", a teen drama with crime elements produced by Discovery Italia.

Alongside fiction, he has directed several documentaries that place emotion and character at the center of real-world stories. His documentary "Spicy Calabria", released theatrically in Italy and available on Amazon Prime Video, explores Italian cultural and culinary identity through the symbol of chili pepper. "Resilient Warriors: Jose Antonio" follows a farmer from Bahia whose personal journey becomes a call for environmental awareness. His most recent documentary, "Celebrity Wines" (Italian theatrical release, 2024), features international figures such as Trudie Styler, Sting, Ronn Moss and Carlo Cracco, and focuses on wine culture as a meeting point between territory, labor, and identity.

Arrigoni has collaborated with international production companies as a screenwriter, director, and producer/fixer for projects filmed in Italy, working with partners from Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

His scripts and projects have been selected at major industry platforms including the Maison des Scénaristes at the Cannes Film Festival, Série Series, Raindance Film Festival, and MIA Market in Rome.

His work has been screened at over fifty international film festivals worldwide, from the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood to the Chamber of Deputy in Rome, with a nomination for an Italian Golden Globe and a special selection at the Silver Ribbons.
