“I’ve had the opportunity to work with Pietro Villani twice (so far) and I’ve really appreciated not only his artistry as a cinematographer, but more importantly (at least, from my perspective) his collaborative nature. He knows when and how to take charge, and when and how to nurture and assist. And he does it all with efficiency and good humor. I love this guy.”
— J K Simmons, Academy Award Winning Actor
“For me the collaboration of the director and cinematographer is one of the most important in the story telling process. Working with Pietro Villani was like going into battle with a hardened veteran. He is an artist who paints within his frames the story and so much more. His demeanor calm , knowledge vast and ability and craft to make any shot I wanted happen steadfast and true . I would work with him anywhere, anytime and look forward to our next project. He is a friend and talented soul. ”
— James Hanlon, Emmy and Peabody Award winning director
“I have known Pietro Villani for many years and as the former VP of Panavision I have seen a lot of Talented cinematographers. Pietro is an artist to say the least but on top of that he approaches every project with a level of professionalism seen in all great Cinematographers. He is asset on many levels to any movies that hires him and when I was at Panavision we always looked into supporting him”
