Roberto Beani (Pietrasanta, 1979) earned a film degree in Pisa. He collaborated as a camera operator and director of photography with ZimmerFrei, Matteo Parisini, Mauro Bartoli, and artists like Aldo Giannotti, The Cool Couple, and Danilo Correale. He has signed the cinematography of over twenty films, often shot with small crews or alone, so he can chat freely with “odd folks, alcoholics, and superheroes”, seeking formal freedom and improbable encounters. “Il Pilastro” is his directorial debut.
