ALBERT RANO
Filmmaker. Photographer. Storyteller.
This is my story.
​
My name is Albert, but my family and childhood friends call me “Chico,” after my grandfather. I was born and raised in the Philippines, where vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes shaped the way I see the world through a lens.
​
Growing up immersed in two distinct cultures, 13,544 km apart, taught me to embrace diversity and the subtle nuances that define a third-culture perspective. This has become a cornerstone of my visual storytelling, allowing me to capture moments with authenticity, empathy, and elegance.
​
My professional journey began as a drone operator for Asian Air Safari, exploring the skies and crafting unique travel narratives. I then worked as a freelance cinematographer and editor at Votary Films while pursuing my studies at Emerson College in Boston, refining both my craft and my creative voice.
​
In May 2018, I took on one of my most meaningful projects: traveling to Haiti to direct and shoot “Florise: The Beauty of Haiti”, a short documentary celebrating the people, landscapes, and culture of the country through the eyes of a 15-year-old girl. The film captivated audiences worldwide and earned First Prize at the Haiti International Film Festival.
​
My journey later brought me across Europe, where I lived in Tuscany for three years as Video Producer for Lionard Luxury Real Estate, Italy’s leading luxury real estate agency, capturing multimillion-dollar estates with cinematic precision. Today, one of my largest and most enduring clients is the TUI Group, the largest tourism company in the world, for whom I continue to create dynamic, high-end visual content.
​
Now based just outside Florence, my passion is helping others tell their stories. Every project is an opportunity to craft a narrative that is elegant, authentic, and unforgettable. Let’s create your story together and embark on a visual journey that will last a lifetime.

Creative Director. Storyteller.
This is my story.
I’m an Argentine marketing professional with a background in creative design and over nine years of international experience in the digital marketing industry. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on visual communication, creative direction, and building meaningful connections through thoughtful design.
​
From an early age, I developed a deep appreciation for cinema, which later led me to study cinematography while continuing my work in marketing. Through my partnership with Albert, a filmmaker who has dedicated most of his life to the craft, my passion for film naturally deepened and eventually inspired me to pursue filmmaking professionally.
​
Today, I bring together my background in communication, a meticulous eye for detail, and a refined aesthetic sensibility to create films that preserve the emotion and atmosphere of life’s most meaningful celebrations.
