Twin brothers Damiano and Fabio D’Innocenzo grew up with a great passion for painting, photography, and poetry. With no formal training in filmmaking, they took their first steps in cinema by making video clips, writing scripts, and setting up theatrical works. In 2018, they made their first feature film Boys Cry, which was screened in the Panorama section of the 68th Berlinale, where it attracted the attention of critics and audiences alike. Bad Tales, their second feature, was selected at the 70th Berlinale and earned them the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay.
