Some careers begin with a degree. Paolo Ciccarelli’s began with a scam. (Yes, really.)
What was meant to be a short trip to London turned into a five-year detour — retail jobs, canceled plans, and a crash course in international storytelling. Now, he's one of the most trusted voices in European drama: an International Scripted Advisor for Film & TV and Head of Drama at MIA - International Audiovisual Market in Rome.
🎙️ In this deeply human (and sometimes hilarious) conversation, Paolo shares:
What Fleabag taught him about trusting new voices
Why saying no is often the hardest part of his job
His soft spot for queer and underrepresented stories
The wildest case of mistaken identity on a red carpet
And the simple superpower that’s fueled his entire career
✨ A story about listening, letting go, and learning to trust the chaos.
This one is for anyone who’s ever made a U-turn — and found themselves in exactly the right place.
