FILMMAKER | DIRECTOR | AUTHOR
FILM
From its earliest days, cinema was conceived as a dream caught in motion—a shimmering sequence of visions that could bypass the watchful mind and speak directly to the soul. In that hypnotic flicker of light and shadow, strangers seated together in the dark could travel into the universal terrains of our shared human journey. That is where my inspiration has always begun—in the stillness of the theater, in the collective breath of those suspended between reality and the dream.
BOOKS
A book is more than a vessel of knowledge. It is a sealed fragment of a lived life—someone’s experience, distilled and preserved, often across centuries. In writing, an author lays bare the essence of what they once saw, felt, or believed was worth leaving behind for posterity. To open a book is to enter that contained world and meet the heart of another across the thin veil of time, language, and shared humanity.
CHILDREN'S BOOKS FOR ADULTS
NEXUS PUBLISHING
​​
Nexus Media's Children’s Books for Adults are more than storytelling—it’s a return to innocence through wisdom. These works invite readers to rediscover wonder, morality, and imagination as pathways to personal growth and a renewed sense of identity. In the same spirit as film, books, and the art of life converge, these stories remind us that narrative is not just entertainment but a mirror of who we are and who we may yet become, awakening the child while engaging the mature mind in healing and hope.
Grumpee Panda (Children’s Book)
​
Grumpee Panda is a tender, humorous, and heartfelt children’s story about a young panda who struggles to understand how his impulsive actions affect his friends and family. Inspired by the energy of SpongeBob and the warmth of Winnie-the-Pooh, it’s a modern tale about ADHD, self-awareness, and the journey to belonging.
The Mustard Seed (Children's Book)
​
A tender parable for children and adults alike, The Mustard Seed reimagines the biblical story of the smallest seed that grows into the mightiest tree. Through simple yet profound storytelling, it teaches that life’s struggles are not to be feared but embraced, for they are the soil in which true growth takes root. From the tiniest seed in the playground to the grand oak of wisdom and strength, the story reminds us that every stage of life—joy and sorrow alike—plays its part in helping us become who we are meant to be.
Raising Pinocchio (Cultural Essay / Modern Parable)
​
Raising Pinocchio is a cultural meditation on the timeless father–son journey—from Collodi’s original 19th-century tale to Shakespeare, Star Wars, and Blade Runner. Drawing on archetypes explored by Jordan Peterson and Carl Jung, this work examines why sons must “rescue” their fathers to truly grow up—and how our culture’s attempt to live “without strings” threatens maturity, purpose, and freedom.
Karl Marx: The Divine Tragedy
NEW RELEASE
AN UNFORGETTABLE DESCENT INTO THE ABYSS OF MARX’S LIFE AND THOUGHT
Karl Marx: The Divine Tragedy presents a groundbreaking exploration of Karl Marx’s life, revealing the man not just as a revolutionary thinker, but as a flawed prophet consumed by his own radical vision. Robert Orlando traces Marx's descent through the lens of Dante’s Divine Comedy, unveiling a deeply spiritual and haunting journey through the inferno of Marx’s personal and ideological struggles. With meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Orlando portrays Marx as figure trapped by his ambitions, whose relentless pursuit of revolution led him into a self-made Hell.
​
THE ART of LIFE
In an age saturated with technology, reductive explanations, and the counterfeit certainties of pseudo-religious science, the ancient wisdom of how life is meant to be lived feels endangered. We risk becoming mere bodies adrift in a world of objects, neglecting the mystery and responsibility of living authentically. My own path has shown me that the art of life lies in unmasking oneself—in daring to be seen, to be known, to be changed—and in doing so, to discover God and one’s place in the community of others.
