Alessandra Piccione
Writer, Co-founder
Alessandra Piccione began her writing career in the world of theatre, where she received critical acclaim for her play, NAKED. After meeting New York writer Frank Canino, Alessandra became interested in the history of Angelina Napolitano, and teamed up with Canino to write the screenplay for what became the internationally award-winning film, LOOKING FOR ANGELINA. Inspired by her own experience, and the personal stories of her collaborators, Alessandra wrote the screenplay for THE CUBAN, which is now featured in the Core Collection at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Margaret Herrick Library. Alessandra has written and produced three feature films under S.N.A.P. Films Inc., including THE CUBAN, THE COLOSSAL FAILURE OF THE MODERN RELATIONSHIP, and LOOKING FOR ANGELINA. In addition, she reunited with Frank Canino to co-write THE REUNION, which won the Feature Screenplay award at the WILDSound International Screenplay Festival in Toronto, Canada, and wrote feature scripts for AMBI Pictures, as well as Ken Corday and NBC Studios.
Alessandra is currently living in her happy place, developing new creative projects for the company, intended to entertain, inspire, and move audiences around the world. She is a producer for all of S.N.A.P. Films Inc.’s projects, and is continuing her mission to tell stories featuring strong female characters.
