Frank Licata
An unsung hero of neo-noir and crime drama, Frank Licata was born in 1963 in the heart of Italy's film industry, Rome. His active years span from the mid-1980s to the present day, with his most recognized works being "Shadows of the Past" and "Underworld Dawn", both highly praised films that unfortunately did not receive any major awards. Licata's authorial style is defined by its grim realism, intricate plotlines, and visually striking cinematography that wonderfully captures the dark underbelly of society. Despite being overlooked at major award ceremonies, Licata's commitment to his craft and his passion for telling raw, uncompromising stories make him an invaluable asset to the world of cinema.
