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” produced and directed short films that were featured in festivals around the world (as if that’s supposed to impress us). Rocco has a remarkable talent for producing and editing commercials that have undoubtedly played before your YouTube videos or favorite shows. He also hosts monthly film programming events at the Plaza Theatre where he talks about classic and pop-culture films that are much more successful than his.

Rocco is currently working on a his directorial debut feature-length comedy film which he claims will “entertain and satisfy”… Sure, we’ll see about that.

how’s my driving?
