Max Chicco was born in October 1968.

Having graduated from the University of Turin in Cinema History and Criticism, in 1992 he was selected by Daniele Segre’s Cammelli Factory for participation in the Social Documentation Video Master program funded by the European Union. In 1994 he completed his first 16mm film, entitled “Lunedi mattina,” which was awarded the Quality Prize by the Ministry of Culture.

In 2016 Max Chicco made his medium feature film titled A Big Love starring the famous italian actor Paolo Graziosi (who played an infant and a 6 six years old child) and in 2017 this film won the 7° Queens World Film Festival Award, Boston International Film Festival, Eurovision Film Festival, Eurocinema Film Festival and Austria Film Festival. In Beverly Hills Film Festival the film has been screened at Chinese Theatre of Los Angeles.

In 2013 Max, as producer, has been selected from Biennale College to realize with the direction of Alessio Fava the feature film Yuri Esposito that will screened at the 70th anniversary of the venerable Venice Film Festival, set to take place Aug. 28-Sept. 7.

In 2011, he created an audiovisual for artist Michelangelo Pistoletto who was performing in Bordeaux; this work was produced by the Biella-based organisation Cittàdellarte.

He continued to collaborate with satellite channel Rai Sat Cinema, and in 2008 was chosen by Current Tv (a channel founded by Al Gore the year before) to direct a series of Pods (short portraits) which were aired on Sky 130.

That same year, he made his debut in feature film production by directing “Saddam,” which was distributed as a home video by Millennium Storm, and shown in movie theatres with the Essai Film Certification. This film, which preceded by a few years the flood of reality shows that have now invaded our lives, relied on the collaboration of actor Frank Adonis (Raging Bulls, GoodFellas).

On 11 September 2001 he was in Manhattan and from that experience of pain and desolation stemmed “Twin Towers: an American Tragedy,” shown at the Toronto Reel World Film Fest in 2001 and distributed by the Los Angeles-based O2C company.

In New York he worked in Broadway, filming TV specials for Rai Sat, “Broadway on stage” and “Dance Step Off Broadway” (15 episodes directly from the musicals), and two documentaries on Indie cinema in New York, “Lloyd Kaufman: un tycoon a Tromaville” and “Cinema Indipendente a New York”.

In 1994 he also directed a documentary, “Il Sig. Rossi prese il fucile,” produced by Palomar for Mixer, a TV program by Giovanni Minoli, and that same year he won first prize at the Torino Film Festival Spazio Italia.
