Rocco Shapiro is an Italian-American filmmaker who has somehow managed to gain experience in both narrative and commercial storytelling. He proudly boasts about his so-called ‘award-winning’ short films that were featured in Academy qualifying festivals like Aspen, Palm Springs and Atlanta (as if that’s supposed to impress you).
In addition to his film accolades, Rocco has written, produced, directed and edited commercials that have undoubtedly interrupted your YouTube videos or favorite shows with clients like Grammarly, Xfinity and Nike. He also hosts monthly film programming events at the Plaza & Tara Theaters where he discusses classic and pop-culture films that are far more successful than his own.
Much like this bio, Rocco’s ventures into writing and directing passion projects lean towards comedic and honest storytelling.
