STEFANO MILLA   Biography -     

Stefano Milla (Turin, 29 april 1968) is an italian director, writer and producer. 

His passion for epic and adventure cinema has led him to win various awards for his work, and has offered him the opportunity of participating in various international festivals including the Cannes Festival and the Dragon*Con Independent Film Festival.
In 1993 his feature film "ARMAGHEDON" was distributed in home video, and after the production of various short films in which he participated in European cinema festivals, in 2001 he finally had his feature film debut with the cinema release of "LA VIA DELLA GLORIA" (THE ROAD OF GLORY). The film was selected for the Donatello David Award and the Golden Ciak.
In 2005 he debuted as theatre director creating two theatre shows in collaboration with the Graal Music Laboratory, a Celtic music group of international fame. The shows were a great success, and led to the making of a feature film "SHAN - The Ancient Heart of Natural People", produced with the support of United Nations and screened in the UN Headquartes in New York in occasion of the Permanent Forum of Indigenous People.
As producer, he wins the Kodak Showcase Award in the Turin Film Festival and is admitted at the Cannes Film Festival 2006 with the short movie "Guilty Until Proven Innocence". In the same year he began working with the NWE; the European Wrestling Federation, taking care of the direction of television series with international wrestling stars as the main characters. In 2007 he also produced and directed the pilot television show "BLACK & 4X" in which the main roles were covered by two wrestlers, Kishi and Black Pearl. In 2009 the feature film "CLAANG THE GAME" wins the Excellence Award at the Indie Film Fest and it's now worldwide distributed by Wonderphil Productions.
