At the intersection of playfulness and artisan craftsmanship, Mosterts’s sophisticated cinematic vocabulary delivers heart and humor with captivating imagery. Having played on the Italian National Volleyball Team, he considers directing an athletic pursuit fusing teamwork, focus, and excellence under pressure.

An alumnus of SHOOT New Director Showcase, he’s directed an array of standout short films, including Afternoon Delight, which was featured as Vimeo’s Short of The Week and garnered over four million views on YouTube. His other acclaimed shorts include his debut, Wally’s Will, and Faith, starring renowned character actor Beth Grant.
Mosterts says of joining Florence, “We share common values on the industry and the artistry behind it, so I feel very supported as a director. They’re a culture-forward production company, and I always strive to be a part of that larger conversation with my work. I’m thankful to be with such a knowledgeable and supportive company.”
“Matteo has such a unique perspective as a director,” adds Ned Brown, Managing Director and Executive Producer of Florence, speaking of their newest rostered director. He continues, “He’s worked with a bunch of agencies and brands in multiple roles, bringing a deep understanding of the process from many angles. Beyond that, his films are all relatable, funny, and poignant. We’re very grateful to have him on board with Florence.”
