In 2014, Federico moved to Berlin, where he worked as an Assistant Director on various short films and as a Unit Manager on the German feature film EFFIGIE (2018). In 2019, he created the concept for a new TV show, FLATMATES, and filmed the pilot episode. After participating in the TFL Series Extended program in 2020, the project received funding from Medienboard for development in collaboration with ZDF-E, Tama Film, and Friday Film.
In 2023, Federico directed his latest short film HAPPY LANDING, which has been screened at various international film festivals, including the Madrid Independent Film Festival and the San Francisco Queer Film Festival.
