Valerio Zanoli is a film director and producer who turned his passion for cinema into social entrepreneurship. Over the years, he has given life to movies that are part of the project Let’s Make a Difference and aim to have a social impact by raising both awareness and funds for important causes.
Valerio has recently completed the documentary Homeless, which follows the stories of some unhoused people. The film was called “impactful, emotional, human” by the National Coalition for the Homeless, it was presented at the World Urban Forum convened by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, and it will be used by UN-Habitat for its World Urban Campaign and #HousingMatters campaign.
Valerio graduated from the prestigious School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California, with a Presidential Scholarship and a Dean’s Scholarship.
Valerio's first film was The Minis, starring NBA legend Dennis Rodman. The movie is available in over 18 countries, with an official videogame and several partnerships that span from Yahoo! to McDonald’s.
Valerio is the producer and director of the film Not To Forget, with a cast that includes Karen Grassle and 5 Academy Award winners: Louis Gossett Jr., Olympia Dukakis, Cloris Leachman, Tatum O'Neal, and George Chakiris. The movie is distributed by Vertical Entertainment and MGM Studios.
Valerio produced and directed the film Hopeful Notes, which was awarded the first prize at the International Social Commitment Awards and 5 out of 5 doves by The Dove Foundation. The movie is distributed all over the world by Pure Flix Entertainment.
Valerio is the producer and director of the film All You Can Dream, starring international singer Anastacia. The movie had its world premiere at the Giffoni Film Festival and its U.S. premiere at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. It later received support letters from the Office of the First Lady and UNESCO "Education for Children in Need."
Valerio co-wrote and produced the film The Ghost Experiment 3D, which was directed by the executive producer of The Blair Witch Project.
Valerio is the director of the Spanish-language film Fiebre Salsera, with a Grammy winner and several world-champion salsa dancers.
Valerio directed the Italian film W Gli Sposi, which features a cast of numerous celebrities, including comedy icon Paolo Villaggio in his final performance.
