TICO Film Company was founded in 2005 by father and daughter Gino and Sarah Pennacchi and in collaboration with film producers Claudio and Federico Saraceni. After very rewarding careers in finance, Gino and Sarah Pennacchi decided to take their knowledge of business and love of film to create a synthesis. We believe that today the synergy of Cinema/Finance is an important key to the production of audio-visual projects, with ambitions for world-wide release. TICO focuses on development of film and television projects and production of documentaries (and mockumnetaries), which have an international profile and are intended for wide release. TICO is creating an international network of production and distribution companies.
