Andrea Bauce / Filmmaker & Documentary Director

I began my career by moving to England, where I spent three years honing my filmmaking skills. Since then, I have worked on both high-profile commercial productions—collaborating with directors such as Park Chan-wook and Giuseppe Tornatore, alongside a variety of independent productions.

My portfolio includes content created for major brands including IWC, LG, FIAT, Stella McCartney, and The North Face.

In 2016, I received the MARSAL Award for a video featuring Pierfrancesco Favino for the brand IWC Schaffhausen.

In 2018, I coordinated and produced the format 4 Chiacchiere con Marco Montemagno, featuring several renowned Italian celebrities such as Michelle Hunziker, Fedez, Rovazzi, and many others

I’ve directed a personal documentary filmed in Los Angeles, selected at international festivals, and experimented with Super 8 film, including directing Instagram Stories for FIAT’s 70th Anniversary campaign.

In 2020, I worked on campaigns for LG Signature with Lewis Hamilton and Stella McCartney’s Animals are Equals. In 2021, I cycled solo across Italy (Milan to Palermo) filming a post-COVID documentary.

In 2023, I swam the Stretto di Messina and biked from Milan to Paris to meet surrealist director Alejandro Jodorowsky.

In 2024, I launched Understory, a YouTube channel where I explore stories of sport and adventure—projects that have reached millions of viewers and sparked conversations well beyond the screen. Most recently, I followed triathlete Fabia Maramotti on her extraordinary journey to victory at the Race Across the West, a film now streaming on Amazon Prime.

This year, I also took on a personal challenge: swimming 6.5 km across the Bosphorus in Istanbul, from Asia to Europe.

Around the same time, I chose to step back from social media to focus more deeply on my work and life, keeping only my website and sharing occasional updates through Vimeo and YouTube.
