Alessia Francischiello was born in 1989 in Trani, Puglia. She began her studies in Political Science and International Relations with the ambition of becoming a journalist but soon realized that path did not suit her. Seeking a new direction, she moved to Sydney, Australia, where in 2018 she launched her artistic career. Photography, a passion since she was 19, became her first mode of expression, but it was writing and visual storytelling that truly captured her heart.

She studied screenwriting for short films at AFTRS and made her directorial debut with Deep Pockets, Empty Hearts in Sydney. She later relocated to Rome, where she directed 1522 and earned a Diploma in Directing and Screenwriting.

After gaining experience on independent projects, without previous connections or access to top-tier education, Alessia established herself as assistent script supervisor, collaborating with major Italian and American productions. Fluent in Italian and English, she has worked across multiple production roles, bridging departments and cultures, with a portfolio spanning films, commercials, and television. Friends describe her as brave and unconventional, a combination that carried her from a small town in southern Italy to the international film industry, where she has collaborated with Oscar-winning artists and continues to pursue storytelling with passion, particularly projects exploring well-being and mental health.
