Young Filmmaker

FILMMAKER WITH A PASSION FOR HISTORY

I dream of one day adapting De rerum natura by Lucretius. Meanwhile, I immerse myself in movies to better understand my favourite directors’ techniques. My latest short film, A Letter from Mandinia, is currently in the editing phase. Even at this early stage, I can already see a clear evolution in quality compared to my previous works—l’Oiseau, Horizons, and Superbus. Each short film marks a new stage.

My Filmmaking Skills

I specialise in film directing, video editing, and screenwriting.

Directing

This is the career I aspire to pursue. I have directed several videos and school projects, many of which have been showcased in competitions.

Scriptwriting

I am constantly jotting down ideas as I search for the perfect script for my next project.

Editing

I enjoy experimenting with various software and exploring new techniques for editing films, shorts, and video presentations.

Sound Editing

I like exploring natural sounds to process, refine, and mix with various effects.

My 3rd Short: l’OISEAU

My third short film, l’Oiseau, written in English, French, and Italian, was filmed in various locations around Trieste, Italy. It explores the challenges faced by local inhabitants. Currently being presented at film festivals, the trailer is available to watch here.

My 2nd Short: HORIZONS

I shot my second short, Horizons, at my home in the countryside of Muggia, a small town near Trieste. It also includes some footage from London. The full film is available to watch here.

My 1st Short: SUPERBUS

At the age of 13, I created my first short, Superbus—A New Story Which Is the Same Old Story, filmed in Porto Vecchio, one of Trieste’s many historic film locations. The full film is available to watch here.

Who I Am

“If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.” — Stanley Kubrick

My name is Thomas Senica. I’m a teenage filmmaker with a passion for history. After completing my time at Petrarca High School in Trieste, northeastern Italy—where I pursued classical studies—I’m now enrolled in the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme at Viborg Katedralskole in Denmark.

With Italian roots and strong ties to Belgium, Korea, and the UK, I create films in English, Italian, and French. Alongside my academic path, I’ve attended summer classes at the London Film Academy (LFA) and Cours Florent in Paris, experiences that have deepened my understanding of cinematic language and performance.

I find more inspiration in watching and studying films than in using social media—though you’re welcome to connect with me on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Letterboxd.
