Luigi Sibona is a neurodivergent writer and director focusing on genre narrative with a strong social backbone. His work aims to provoke and subvert through progressive and unexpected stories while never forgetting the joy of a ripping yarn.

Cutting his teeth directing music videos, he developed a distinctive visual style with his long-standing DOP Jordan Stephens and founded the production company Hollow Films. Luigi’s BAFTA-qualifying first short film ‘Mantis’ propelled him into multiple BAFTA and Academy Award-qualifying festivals across the UK and abroad, winning numerous awards including Best Horror at The British Short Film Awards.

Luigi’s second short, ‘In Your Hands’, produced by Award-Winning production company Grey Moth, has just started its festival run and is already BAFTA-qualifying. ‘In Your Hands’ has been selected to play at the Academy Award-qualifying Tampere Film Festival, BAFTA-qualifying Aesthetica Short Film Festival and an ever-growing number of festivals worldwide garnering multiple awards including the Audience Award at the BIFA-qualifying North East International Film Festival and Best Short at the British Horror Film Festival. 

Luigi is in pre-production on his third short, ‘Far From The Plains’, which he co-wrote with writer Niellah Arboine, working again with Grey Moth. All the while he is writing and developing a number of other projects including his first feature.
