Everyone talks about making #movies. Producing one means making it happen. It’s chasing a vision through a maze of money, people, timing, and impossible problems—then making the call when every option carries a cost. Behind every story, a decision. #hollywood #independentfilm #indie

I’ve spent most of my career making decisions in business—around finance, strategy, people and risk. Then I started producing films. What surprised me most was not how different the two worlds are, but how much they have in common. Every film begins with a story. But getting that story to the screen takes hundreds of decisions—creative, financial and human. That intersection between business and cinema is where I find myself today. And there’s a lot I want to talk about.

ā€œThank you, blueā€ began as a story we deeply believed in. Seeing audiences connect with it has been incredibly meaningful. This film is about empathy, connection, and the importance of truly seeing one another. We are grateful for everyone who has supported the journey so far — and excited for what comes next. #ThankYouBlue #ShortFilm #IndependentFilm #AutismAcceptance – at Los Angeles, CA

This month’s entertainment headlines tell two stories at once: Cannes is celebrating bold cinema, while Hollywood keeps restructuring around efficiency. Creativity is still the engine—but strategy matters more than ever. #EntertainmentIndustry #Cannes2026 #Hollywood #AmbrosiniMediaGroup #IndieMovies

I didn’t know #Kirk until his assassination. In the past three days, I’ve discovered his mission and his voice. What breaks me isn’t only that a coward’s bullet silenced him, but that in this country speaking your truth can cost you your life. This tragedy is not just about one life stolen. It’s about the freedom to speak, to dissent, to confront differences without fear. Protecting that #freedom is bigger than politics, bigger than ideology. It’s about the kind of country we want to be. #KirkAssassination #FreeSpeech #FreedomOfSpeech

Ever wondered who your neighbor’s neighbor is? Turns out it could be a Black Scottish teacher with a hilarious accent going viral! šŸŒāœØ Torgi Squire’s weather‑themed TikTok blew up overnight—millions of views, hundreds of thousands of new followers—when Americans realized there are Black Scots. Cue the lesson in ā€œyou can’t assume people look like their accentā€ and a whole lot of curiosity about Scotland’s Black diaspora.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s funny, it’s eye‑opening, and it’s the reminder we all needed: the world is wider—and more surprising—than our feed lets on.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #BlackScottishTikTok #ViralDiscovery #ThinkBeyondAssumptions #CultureSurprise #TorgiSquire #AccentTok #DiasporaDialogues #ScotlandTikTok #RepresentationMatters #BreakingTheBubble #CulturalAwareness #TikTokNews #BlackVoices #GlobalCulture #InternetMeltdown #ViralMoment #ThisIsWhyWeTravel #MoreThanOneStory

A year ago I was deep in finance meetings as a CFO. I still am. Now, I’m also producing my first film: Lotus Flower šŸŽ¬ It’s based on a true story. Written & directed by the brilliant Giovanni Ambrosino. Produced by the unstoppable Anna Ambrosino. No studio. Just vision, grit, and midnight Zooms. You don’t need permission to create. You need courage, a story, and a reason that won’t let you sleep. šŸ“½ļø Follow the journey — from spreadsheets to the screen. #LotusFlowerMovie #IndependentFilm #ExecutiveProducer #TrueStory #FilmInTheMaking #GiovanniAmbrosino #AnnaAmbrosino #Hollywood

āš«ļøšŸ”µ L’Inter si ĆØ presentata in finale di Champions con una rosa da ā€œClub dei trentenniā€ (etĆ  media 30 anni e 4 mesi), ma la Champions non perdona. Il gap generazionale di 5 anni con il PSG ĆØ stato un disastro: 5-0 e addio sogni di gloria. Serve una rifondazione totale. #Inter #ChampionsLeague #fallimento #PSGINT

āš«ļøšŸ”µ Una stagione da incubo per l’Inter: zero titoli e tanti rimpianti. Il club aveva l’ambizione di vincere tutto, ma ha finito per non vincere nulla. Un fallimento su tutta la linea: dal campionato alla Coppa Italia, dalla Supercoppa alla #ChampionLeague. Urge un cambio di rotta radicale. #Inter #fallimento #ChampionsLeagueFinal

One of the biggest roadblocks to #communication is confusing understanding with agreement. Just because I understand your point doesn’t mean I agree with it. Clarity doesn’t always mean consensus. #ConflictResolution
