Matteo (Tteo) Scott Zavaglia is an Italian-American director, writer, and film preservationist currently enrolled at Biola University. Working very closely in their craft as a structuralist, Tteo hopes their emphasis on the "demystification of narrative cinema" will help revitalize the viability of silent cinema in the digital age. They pine for an industry that recognizes the provocations of the image as a standalone alternative to narrative storytelling. Outside their work as a filmmaker (and the albeit fluffed artistic theorism), Tteo is an avid hobbyist, dipping their fingers into graphic design and record collecting in their free time.
