About me
i was born and raised a few blocks away from cinecitta' studios in rome, italy, and studied at the liceo artistico giorgio de chirico. i left rome to come to los angeles where i worked for many years in the development of film and tv projects. in the year 2000 i started to direct tv spots and have won a over a dozen awards. in 2007 i wrapped up 2 seasons as supervising art director for cartoon network on the emmy award winning tv series "class of 3000" starring the voice and music of andré 3000 (outkast). i directed two live-action music videos with ms.triniti and an animated a third one with andre' 3000. in 2008 i completed my first short film "winter", a psychological thriller, that has won a GOLD REMI AWARD at the 2009 WorldFest-Houston Intl Film Festival, and currently my first book ALTERED SCAPES an art book of my work as an artist is available at: http://www.venturaexit.com and all my digital books are available to download at amusedom.com
I teach for a non-profit in South Central and South Gate highschools, I teach photography in after school programs. I also teach at CalArts.
...and YES, I AM THE URBAN ARTISTS TIX3 so, ENTER EXIT.
and this from my book:
"Every city has a lot to offer, it’s all there, all around us.
You have to take the time to look, to discover and to always give back.
Inspire others, the children and people that have no hope, the ones that see no future in their tomorrow. Inspire those who are rude, angry and mean. Inspire all; the good, the bad and the ugly.
Do it at your own pace, do it by using your craft even when it seems hopeless to you.
Finally do it to find truth and inspiration, to make a better you. So that when you reach your destination and look back, you may understand the journey and at that moment know there was a reason.
Remember that this is your earth, but never forget that you won’t get to keep it for too long.
Nothing is yours but what you leave behind." VV 12/12/2009
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ogni città ha tanto da offrire, è tutto lì, tutto intorno a noi.
Devi cercare di trovare il tempo per osservare, per scoprire e devi sempre dare qualcosa in cambio.
Sii di ispirazione agli altri, ai bambini e alla gente senza speranza, a quelli che non vedono nessun futuro nel loro domani.
Sii di ispirazione ai villani, agli arrabbiati e ai meschini. Sii di ispirazione per tutti; il buono, il brutto e il cattivo.
Fallo seguendo il tuo ritmo, fallo utilizzando la tua abilità, persino quando ti sembra impossibile.
Fallo, infine, per aiutare te stesso a trovare la verità e l'ispirazione per migliorarti, in modo che una volta raggiunta la tua destinazione potrai guardarti indietro e forse, anche se solo per un istante, potrai comprendere il tuo viaggio, e proprio in quel momento ti renderai conto del perchè.
Ricorda che è la tua terra, ma non dimenticare mai che non l'avrai per sempre.
Niente è tuo, solo quello che ti lasci dietro. VV 12/12/2009
