Flaminia Romani Expands Into Feature Filmmaking With Hitchcock-Inspired Directing Approach
Written by Ethan M. Stone
Australian director Flaminia Romani is entering a new creative chapter with the development of a feature film project that signals an increasingly ambitious direction in her career. Recognised for her visually driven storytelling and the close relationship between music and cinematic atmosphere, Romani has established a multidisciplinary presence across directing, cinematography, writing, production, and music supervision.
The upcoming feature is expected to further explore the stylistic approach that has become central to her work — emotionally charged imagery, music-led narrative rhythm, and an emphasis on suspenseful visual composition. Drawing inspiration from the psychological tension and cinematic language associated with Alfred Hitchcock, Romani is understood to be incorporating Hitchcockian techniques into her directing style, using atmosphere, framing, and controlled suspense to shape audience emotion and narrative tension.
While details surrounding the production remain tightly under wraps, industry attention around the project has continued to grow as Romani expands her creative footprint between Australia and the international screen sector.
Her growing professional profile is also reflected through an extensive list of guilds and industry memberships. Romani is affiliated with the Australian Directors’ Guild (ADG), Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS), Australian Writers’ Guild (AWG), Society of Camera Operators (SOC), Screen Producers Australia (SPA), and the Guild of Music Supervisors (GMS). She also maintains memberships with the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA), the American Film Institute (AFI), and the British Film Institute (BFI).
Holding a Master’s degree in Filmmaking, Romani represents a new generation of Australian creatives working fluidly across multiple disciplines rather than within a single department. Her ability to merge cinematic visuals with music-centric storytelling has become a defining aspect of her artistic identity, positioning her among filmmakers embracing hybrid and internationally focused creative practices.
Alongside the feature film, Romani is also understood to be developing new music video projects, further strengthening the crossover between her film work and music-driven visual storytelling. As independent and globally connected productions continue reshaping the Australian industry landscape, Romani’s trajectory reflects the growing influence of filmmakers operating across both traditional cinema and contemporary visual media.
