Francesca Tas­ini

Francesca Tas­ini is an Itali­an act­or and writer based in Ber­lin. She hails from a multi-dis­cip­lin­ary back­ground which includes theat­er, cir­cus, and pro­duc­tion. Par­tic­u­larly drawn to speak­ing about mar­gin­al­ised voices, she wrote and dir­ec­ted the LGB­TQ+ short film LOLA, which was selec­ted for more than 20 fest­ivals. Her TV pro­ject UNCLEAN was selec­ted for Screen­writer Lab Europe, sup­por­ted by Meryl Streep and Nicole Kid­man sub­sequently win­ning the awards of Best Pilot at the 2023 UK Fil­mar­ket Hub Awards, Best Digit­al Series at Con­ecta Fic­tion 2024. UNCLEAN is now in devel­op­ment with 3Raum Produk­tion­en and the pro­du­cer Tore Schmidt (The Dan­ish Girl Net­flix). Francesca is also a writer on STEAL­ING MONA LISA, Indyca and Unknown Media pro­duc­tion for show run­ner Stefano Strocchi.

Francesca draws inspir­a­tion from her own mis­ad­ven­tures and epic fails, but also from red wine. When she was a child she dreamed of becom­ing Charlie Chap­lin, and then Dav­id Bowie.
