Who is Nicama? The last Geisha? The relentless samurai?
The eternal youth seaweed? The youngest Korean CEO?
Nicama is a bit of all this. It is a studio in which stories are born. Images that recount emotions, stopped in time and fixed in memory.
Solid stories, which do not disappear at the speed of virtual sharing, but which remain. To remind us of the charm of reality.
A feng-shui company: light, essential, focused on the result. Where professionals with strong passions meet: punk rock (this speaks of their age), photography and film making (this speaks of what they can do for you).

CARLO FURGERI GILBERT
English
mother, Italian father, New Zealand grandmother. I was born in
London, I grew up in Ravenna, I live in Milan. After a degree in
architecture, I became a photographer and director. And in the
cutouts of time I play base drum, cymbals and snare.
“I love the noise of the drums. I love the silence that being on set inspires you"
I worked on advertising and video
campaigns for Adidas, Sky, Lavazza, BMW, Telecom, DB Bahn, Banca
Intesa, Puma, Techogym, Virgin Active, Deutsch Bank, Yamaha. As a
photographer I work with important international magazines such as
GQ, Rolling Stone, Wall Street Journal, Stern, Vanity Fair, IoDonna,
RedBulletin, L’Optimum Art.
With Pirelli I documented the working
world in the Europeans factories and it became an exhibition at the
Milan Triennale. I co-directed with Marcello Pastonesi the
documentary "L'Altro Spazio" produced by Someone and Rai
Cinema, made for the Venice Architecture Biennale and screened out of
competition at the Trento Film Festival.
MARZIO
MIRABELLA
I have
come a long way: descendant of Sicilian landscape painters, I
followed in the footsteps of the family, moving towards video and
photography. And I love to go far: with my vintage lens set I have
traveled the world, filming for over 20 years.
I
graduated in natural sciences and became a guide at the Aquarium of
Genoa, but then I decided to follow my passion: years as a filmmaker, and today director of photography.
“I
love travelling and the sea. Without my
lenses I am a fish out of water "
Many
music videos, for national and international artists: Tre Allegri
Ragazzi Morti, Dente, David Sylvian, Ingrid Chavez. Short films,
feature films, documentaries and branded content for many customers.
For Costa Crociere and MSC, my two passions - sea and photography -
go many miles together.
For years I have been working as a Dop
with I Licaoni Digital Studio with which I have made several short
films.
NICCOLÒ RASTRELLI
I am a winner. Or rather, I won: a
camera with a supermarket points collection. From there I took myself
seriously: I studied photography at the Fondazione Studio Marangoni
in Florence. An accident stopped me, but the money for compensation
helped me with a fresh start, and I decided to move to Milan.
“In
life I like to expand the boundary. In
photography I love to focus on the characters "
Here
I begin my research. I focused on photography: on people, on
gestures, on details, on manifestations that tell identity. In life I
widen: expanding time, running up to my first marathon. I expand
space, getting lost with my motorbike on winding roads, usually to
find the sea.
Along
these two paths, some milestones. The publications: Le Monde, Fluter,
Stern, Io Donna, D di Repubblica, Riders, Sportweek, Sette, Marie
Claire, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone. The clients I work for: Ing,
Allianz, Tim, Merck, Aw Lab, Mysecretcase, Pirelli Foundation,
Pirelli, Cortona On the Move. And several prizes.
MARCELLO PASTONESI
I
studied international political science and diplomacy at the
University of Genoa. Journalism in London and international relations
at the Institute for International Political Studies. In the meantime
I played rugby, climbed Mont Blanc, cycled in the Tour of Flanders.
"I
did a lot of television, but I never
look at it. I prefer to walk the streets "
I
entered television and quickly became MTV Networks executive producer
for news in Italy. I directed and produced numerous award-winning
documentaries in the series True Life, Mtv News and No Excuse. In
short, I make my way, but it's a path that takes me away from the
camera. I decide to go back in the field: I become freelance.
I
focus on hot topics: foreign affairs, energy and migration. I
collaborate with RaiNews24, MTV, RaiCinema, Sky Arte. And with UNHCR
to document migration crises. I do what I like: photography and
direction. But I continue to be a producer: budget, finance,
contracts and content.
