Tiberio's passion for moviemaking began with his mom behind the camera. Transfixed by home videos of life going by, Tiberio formed his own relationship with motion picture during the advent of digital video. With a Canon GL2 camcorder gifted one magical white Christmas, he began making movies in high school, from class projects to event coverage and documentaries. He attended trade schools like the Northern Westchester Tech Film/TV program and New York Film Academy.

​

Tiberio directed the short film god's Man, a comedy about the state of Heaven in the near future when Mankind is abandoning God. In keeping with the theme of man's relationship to God, he followed this with a dramatic short, Lies Within, about an aging priest confronting a mysterious confessor late on Christmas Eve, which screened at Peekskill Film Festival. His most recent film, Doom Chat, a pandemic era comedy, won Best Dark Comedy at Austin Comedy Film Festival and was a finalist at Mindfield in Albuquerque, NM.

​

Finding a project to latch onto is soul searching, which leads Tiberio to themes of human spirituality, whatever that means and doesn't mean. He blends elements of drama, comedy, sci-fi, fantasy, and surrealism. His biggest influences have been Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, and Robert Altman. He is currently mentored by WME-represented director Sonja O'Hara.

Director's Statement

​

Art is the soul, whether there's meaning or it's merely an illusion. Regardless, it's a footprint for the future to find. I want to leave behind something that tells them about love in our time, everything it was, wasn't, everything we wanted it to be and still hope for.
