Mirko Faienza

My professional career started about ten years ago and since I've kept following my strong passion for filming always trying to improve myself to deliver high quality results. 

I feel very lucky this passion has taken me to many places around the world. I had the privilege to see, live, document, tell a story, being a witness right on the spot.

As it is a privilege and a big responsibility  to pass the message to the viewers through my eyes.  

Everything started in 2000 when, after a "Multimedia Operator of the art sector" course, I had my first contract with “Fondazione Arturo Toscanini” of Parma (Italy) where I was employed as director, cameraman and technician, recording Opera shows.

After that my Tv career began in a local network of Bologna, being occupied there as cameraman, editor, soundman. Covering mostly news, sport events and Tv programs.

In 2003 i went freelance and left Italy moving east, a big step.

Since then I covered the most important historic events the Mid-East region went through during the past years, including conflict crisis, moving all around  the area, shooting news for the most important networks and agencies like CNN, Sky News, Ap, etc... and filming documentaries for European and US productions, directors.

In the last two years I've been directing, filming and editing my films.

Skilled nature filming, my nature footage is distributed by the National Geographic Channel.

I recently moved back to italy and this job keeps me traveling around the globe.

I fluently speak italian, english, hebrew, portugues  

I bring true passion, enthusiasm, dedication, and will always push my self to the best I can, to give your project the value it deserves.
