Today we’d like to introduce you to Alessandro Folchitto
Hi Alessandro, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Good morning ,
My Usa story start from this.
When I was in the Italian special and deployed in Afganistan , thanks to some connection I met Bobby Vasquez , a former USA green beret .
Mr Vasquez at that time was the President of the Local 479 Movie studio mechanics ( the biggest union for movie crew in USA )
And the owner of the East Cost Film, a company that provide special effect for movies .
He sponsored me with an H1 visa and I came to work in Usa
I started to work for him for 2 years and I did 7 movies for him ,in the meantime more and more people ask me to work for other company thanks to my Special forces background and the application of this skill in the movie business .
Then my career skyrocket .
Thanks to the unique combination in Atlanta and probably the south west of my special forces background and my special effect expertise and behind the camera work ,
Multi million dollars movies production start to hire me a technical/military advisor and I was able to contribute with my knowledge to the success of movie that made hundreds of million of dollar in Usa market and worldwide .
Then the stunt world come in to place , since that was a huge need of actually stunt performer with real tactical background and so i was hired to cover the section of the movie business allow me to work in more than 130 productions.
At that moment i was a part of a huge gear that was bringing in the state of Georgia almost 8 billion dollars a year.
At that point another step come into my career when directors and producer start to put me more in front of the camera thanks to my tactical skill and my Italian accent…. and so my acting career explode , with multiple role in Movies like Insurgent , hunger games MacGiver, Red notice just to mention a few
I am now casted with a major role in a movie that will be hired next year.
