Fausto Brizzi

Fausto Brizzi stands as one of the most commercially successful Italian directors of the 21st century. His Notte prima degli esami trilogy broke box office records and revitalized the teen comedy genre in Italy. He is the only director to win both the David di Donatello for Best New Director and the Ciak d'Oro for Best First Feature Film for the same movie in 2006. His ability to consistently produce hits that resonate with young audiences earned him a four-film deal with Medusa Film.
