About us
Art is the best cure
A project born in Calabria, made for all of Italy.
Our story
We are partners in life and in art, and we make cinema. Roberta is a professional actress, Christian an aspiring director, and we both graduated from Accademia09 in Milan. And we both love to travel.
We like Milan, it's beautiful, but lately living there had become hard: we had lost our artistic stimuli, people seemed cold to us and we felt the city was less safe. So we chose a place completely different from the city setting.
We came to a place Roberta already knew, because her relatives have Calabrian roots, but where she had never lived. We chose Soverato and we are doing well here: thanks to Calabria we are rediscovering ourselves and have found new artistic ideas and stimuli. It is a land full of resources, culture, traditions and stories to tell. That's why CinemaLab was born here.
It is a cinematic acting lab and an Art Gym, built on the belief that acting is therapeutic: it can help people get to know themselves and free themselves from judgment, their own and others'. Everything starts here, but it doesn't stop here.
Travel, train, come back
We never want to stand still: we want to see the world and train in our field, cinema, Roberta as an actress and Christian as a director. We would love to create something in Calabria and we are giving it everything to make it happen, with the chance to always come back and help this land: in some ways still to be discovered, and today very fertile.
The concept that guides us
We are who we are, and we are perfect as we are. CinemaLab helps people become aware of living in the present, and to let go of the fear of judgment and the fear of not being interesting enough — because they already are, with all of their traits.
We start from Calabria, we go everywhere
CinemaLab is a lab that can work all over Italy. We are open to collaborating with schools, institutions, large and small organisations, on any kind of project. If you have an idea, let's talk.
The team
Roberta and Christian lead the practical and interpretive side of acting, in both the 2026/2027 Program and the Art Gym, depending on demand.
