GUTS

a female expedition through Africa

COMING SOON – IN THEATERS 2025

What happens when women abandon rules, roles, and logic to follow their GUTS until the end of the road? Patrizia and Marie left everything behind and embarked on a five-month, 20,000 km off-road journey from France to Guinea-Bissau—with nothing but an old car, four surfboards, and a mission: to capture the stories of inspiring women redefining their place in society across Northwest Africa. What happened on that long and dusty road was pure magic. From the first female mountain guide of Morocco to the women’s rights activist in Nouakchott, or the young surf collective in Dakar, they all showed that when women dare to break free from conventions and listen to their own voice, a revolution begins—not just for them, but for their communities, their countries, and the world.

GUTS is a raw, empowering adventure by women for women. It’s an ode to freedom. It’s a hymn to that soft yet strong synergy that is created when women unite. It’s a call to embrace fears and dare to listen to your GUTS until the very end of the road.

Writing

Writing is, for me, the most simple and effective way to arrive at people’s hearts. Because sometimes we just need a word, a lttle sentence to start a revolution. I have authored reportages and articles for renowned publications such as Grazia, TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, GoldenRide etc. Through my writing, I strive to give a voice to extraordinary individuals and bring attention to the topics that matter most.

Expeditions

Expeditions & Adventure Travel

I grew up in my family’s expedition and adventure travel agency, AVVENTURASPORT, surrounded by paragliders, kayaks, and listening to stories of remote destinations. This is where I took my first steps into the adventure world, learning to love the unknown and discovering new places. I led my first expedition at 14—it was barely legal—and since then, I have never stopped exploring, searching, and taking people into the wildest areas of our beautiful planet. From Kyrgyzstan to the Kalahari, I have crafted the perfect adventures for companies and solo explorers around the world.

About me

About me

As an author and director, I focus on truly getting to know my film characters. With a background in linguistics and anthropology, I always had a fervent passion for learning new languages and cultures, driven by an urge to communicate and connect deeply with people. This intimate approach now defines my work in documentaries.

I am a huge fan of literature, from Homer’s Odyssey to the works of Hemingway and Kerouac. These books have defined my romantic approach to adventure and exploration. I aim to be a bridge between the creator and the audience, bringing stories to life with authenticity and depth. Nature is my greatest source of fulfillment, where my mind and spirit can create with ease

Thank You !
