Matteo Mascanzoni

Matteo Mascanzoni is a queer genre writer from the romantic city of Verona, Italy. He has worked as a Resort Entertainer, a Receptionist, a Travel Agent, and a Flight Attendant just so he could explore the world's wonders and live between the Great Barrier Reef, the Andes, and the eradicated Berlin Wall. Grateful for the varied experiences he infuses in his storytelling, he leaped into his latest chapter, moving to the land of dreams, Hollywood. He was recently an intern at a boutique management agency, Epicenter, and has worked on multiple movie sets in order to unlock the secrets of movie-making. Praised for his easygoing nature and world-building skills by peers and professionals alike, Matteo writes about actually solvable mysteries with the magical help of his international, quirky characters, who helped him place as a Finalist at the 2022 Austin Film Festival. Also, Matteo was once hypnotized into a past life and discovered he used to be a murderous pageboy in 1784 Paris. But rest assured, he's pretty sure he's grown out of the "murderer in jester shoes" part.
