Jacopo Bonfante
Jacopo Bonfante is a director, cinematographer, and screenwriter, as well as the founder and CEO of Chroma Film & Production.
He works across feature films, short films, documentaries, and music videos, developing projects that combine a distinctive creative vision with solid production expertise. His background was further shaped by his studies in Cinema & New Media at DAM Academy in Rome, an experience that strengthened both his technical and narrative approach while broadening his perspective on contemporary visual languages.
His vision emerges from the encounter between storytelling and imagery: for him, cinema is not simply about telling a story, but about creating atmosphere, tension, and memory. Every project becomes a world to inhabit, a delicate balance between light, composition, and emotional rhythm.
He observes reality through a constantly cinematic eye.
He studies light as a living material.
He searches for depth in contrasts, truth in silence, and intensity in detail.
As a director, he guides the narrative with sensitivity and control, allowing space for emotion without ever losing visual coherence.
As a cinematographer, he shapes images with precision, creating environments that do more than serve as a backdrop: they become an active part of the story.
At the helm of Chroma Film & Production, he develops productions with a strong and recognizable visual identity. Every project is conceived with character, direction, and intention.
He does not seek images that are merely beautiful.
He seeks images that are necessary.
Because when cinema is authentic, it does not simply ask to be watched:
it asks to be experienced.
