REEF Studios

is an independent
creative studio based in the wildest
territories of Sardinia.
Here everyday young folks meet
to make art and drink mirto.

In between drinking and sunbathing,
we work indeed on the dopest projects.
Taking care of any aspect of the workflow,
from the very first sketches to the release party. Treatment and production, 3D, VFX and motion graphics are some of our most famous specialities, besides being good-looking great entertainers.
And for those nostalgic for the good old self-distancing, we also develop realistic 3D characters!
So you can quit attending boring work meetings and dangerous family reunions.

Andrea Folino

The mastermind behind REEF. Andrea is our founder, executive producer, creative lead and director. To put it simply, he’s a jack-of-all-trades filmmaker with a strong cinematic style. He's been shaping the video identity of Italian rapper Salmo and the Machete Crew since he was just 14, working with the top Italian rappers and international pop stars. Despite his youth, he's accomplished a lot, and he's incredibly talented and cute (or at least that's what he asked us to write).

Alessandro Fele

Our VFX genius. Alessandro boasts a decade of experience with a super-rich portfolio including films, TV series, and countless music videos. Alongside REEF, he worked on our first full CGI music video, “Aldo Ritmo” by Salmo, and he’s currently diving deep into conjuring digital humans: he created the official 3D avatars for Salmo (FLOP Tour) and thasup, and he has plenty more in the pipeline. He’s basically the god of our digital doppelgängers, so if you desire to appear gorgeous in the multiverse you better be on his good side.

The OG REEF veteran since day one. Pietro started as the partner-in-crime and video editor for Andrea Folino's music videos, but quickly expanded his artistic horizons into the world of 3D, becoming our go-to artist for his unique vision and taste.

Mike Manca

Mike is our go-to 2D artist, but he's also our resident 3D animator because why settle for just two dimensions when you can have three? He has an impressive background in motion graphics and 2D animation from his experiences in Turin, Milan, and Australia. He joined the REEF team in 2021, and has been a cornerstone of the studio since then.

Andrea Bacciu

Andrea has a strong classical studies and Fine Arts background, and he’s also a living encyclopedia when it comes to videogames and 3D gaming technologies. He brought both the fanciness and the fun stuff to the studio, being now all about that metaverse life and creating mind-blowing apps for VR headsets. He’s a very cool and passionate nerd with tons of knowledge.

Andrea Brigaglia

From Olbia to Milan and back, Andrea is our audio guy, which means that if it weren’t for him we would make mute videos. He takes care of all things sound design, mixing, mastering, and recordings, making him the core of REEF Recording, our audio strand. He's also a super-skilled music producer with a profound love for videogames and cinema.

Alice Fiorenza

Alice is our Senior Producer, Project Manager, and Professional Globetrotter! Before taking root at REEF Studio, she traveled all around the world, living in New Zealand, Australia, and the USA. She later made her way to Rome to study photography and worked as an assistant and studio manager for a fashion/music photographer in Milan. She eventually came back to Sardinia and started working with REEF as a producer and project manager, forging a tremendous bond with the team.  She basically keeps us all in order and on track, but in a sweeter and less frightening way than you might think.
