Giacomo Arrigoni is an Italian director and screenwriter with a diverse portfolio spanning cinema, television, and new media.

His work encompasses films, series, documentaries, TV commercials, branded content, and corporate films.

Arrigoni has collaborated with major clients including SONY Mobile UK, NETFLIX, Discovery Italia, Google, Mercedes Media, Microsoft, Fox Crime Spain, Vodafone, Red Bull, Swatch, Adidas, Zeiss, Accenture, Land Rover, Avio Aero, and many others.

A hallmark of Arrigoni’s style is the central role of emotion in his genre storytelling.

In the short film Into the Gloom (2010), he uses thriller conventions to condemn violence against women.

His debut feature film, The Rule of Lead (2014), available on Amazon Prime US and other VOD platforms, delves into the theme of invisible children through a supernatural thriller.

His series #Goldfish (2018), produced by Discovery Italia, examines the relationship between teenagers and social networks, blending teen drama with crime elements.

Emotion also plays a key role in Arrigoni’s documentaries, often in unexpected ways.

Spicy Calabria (2021), released in Italian cinemas and available on Amazon Prime Video, merges Italy's natural, artistic, and culinary treasures with the chili pepper in a romantic road trip where the line between reality and imagination blurs.

In Resilient Warriors: Jose Antonio (2020), he tells the story of a humble farmer from Bahia who sparks an environmental revolution with his dreams cultivated in the Brazilian desert.

Arrigoni’s works have been selected for more than fifty international film festivals and have won numerous awards. His films have been screened worldwide, from the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood to the Chamber of Deputies in Rome, earning him a Golden Globe nomination and a Special Selection at the Nastri d’Argento.

He co-wrote State of Consciousness starring Emile Hirsch (released in Italian cinemas in 2023 and distributed in the US by Lionsgate in 2024) and Eddie & Sunny starring Gabriel Luna (available on Amazon Prime Video), both produced by Iervolino & Lady Bacardi Entertainment.

Arrigoni’s TV series projects have been recognized at prestigious festivals such as the Maison des Scénaristes at the Cannes Film Festival, SerienCamp, Série Series, and the Raindance Film Festival.

His documentary series project Clefs d’Or was presented at the Venice Film Festival 2022 as part of the official selection of the Italian Doc Screenings Academy Series.

His documentary Celebrity Wines premiered at Ischia Global Fest 2024 and was released in Italian cinemas in July 2024.
