Niccolò Salvato is a director, screenwriter, and producer based in London and Milan. His career bridging Narrative and Documentary started while attending the University of Westminster, crafting films presented all over the word at festivals and platforms such as Young Directors Award, Prime Video, Watersprite, and FipaDOC.
He is known for a style that defies the ordinary with magical realism, weaving unheard voices into unconventional perspectives.
Salvato's documentary project Near Light—exploring young murderers rebuilding their lives—began as an acclaimed short and is now expanding into a feature film and docu-series, selected for development at prestigious MIA Market and Ex Oriente.
His latest short on love and blindness has an olfactory narrative, making the experience accessible to blind audiences in both subject and form. With a distinctive creative voice also extended to commercial work, he's earned a place on the rosters of ACNE Creative and BRW Filmland.
