Matias Lorieri

Matias Lorieri was born in Treviso, Italy. He is a polyglot aspiring actor/scriptwriter and film business enthusiast with a corporate background in strategy and marketing. Matias is perfectly trilingual in Italian, German, English and speaks fluent French, upper intermediate Mandarin Chinese and basic Spanish. He can also learn lines in Cantonese. Matias earned an MBA with distinction from The University of Hong Kong (HKU) in November 2019, focusing capstone project & electives on the strategy of online entertainment/OTT platforms. The choice to focus his MBA studies on the entertainment sector was due to his lifelong passion for films (Matias is an avid film collector, in particular Hong Kong/Asian cinema, and owns a DVD/Blu-Ray library of 900+ titles). As a consequence, Matias focused his post-MBA efforts on the film sector in Mainland China, a country he has been living in for over 13 years. He gained insight into China's film production sector via a Project Management/Action team Member experience (1 of 80 selected of more than 800) for Bona Film Group's "The Battle at Lake Changjin" & "The Battle at Lake Changjin II: Watergate Bridge", China's biggest epic productions so far with over 7000 people involved in the production. During the shooting, Matias was also cast for a one-minute one-on-one scene with Chinese Superstar Jackson Yee (Better Days, 2019). Subsequently Matias was cast as a Special Feature alongside "box-office King" Wu Jing in "The Wandering Earth II", the sequel to the critically acclaimed Chinese sci-fi blockbuster. When he's not involved in actual productions, Matias is a freelance Strategy Consultant with focus on both film/entertainment & consumer goods sectors. During his time off from consulting projects, Matias also lectures Business Planning and Management at a higher education institution in the Southern Chinese metropolis of Guangzhou, where he also resides. He will keep strengthening his experience in the film sector and is as such considering potential opportunities both in front and behind the camera (in particular positions in which he can utilize his globally acquired transferable skills in business strategy, project management, foreign languages as well as his international versatility & cross-cultural awareness)
