Mariano Baino is a film director, screenwriter and editor mainly working in the horror genre. He has been hailed as ?one of the great torch-bearers for expressionistic genre cinema? by Montreal's Fantasia Film Festival. He's also the recipient of the Vincent Price Award for Outstanding Contribution to Fantastic Cinema and other awards. He's been called "someone with a vivid and savage imagination that Bram Stoker would envy" by British newspaper The Daily Star, and "an unholy hybrid of Bergman and Argento" by Film Review. His work has often been compared to Bergman's for its somber atmosphere and depth of religious meditation. Stereoscopic movie HIDDEN 3D is based on an original story Baino and Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni co-wrote.
