Valerio Cafagna (born July 18th, 2004) is an American writer, director, and actor from Metro Detroit, Michigan. He has been working in the film industry over a year and has already written, directed, and produced three short films. He is most known for his films Squared Circles (2026) and Dreamland (2025) that have been making there away throughout the festival circuit. He has worked on numerous films and commercials, but he first started as a musician. This can explain why his dialogue can roll of the tongue like a melody. His films are always backed by engaging and energized performances, and his signature fly-on-the-wall directing style. He is currently in pre-production for his four short film, The Tosher Plan (2026), which he is co-writing/directing with longtime friend and collaborator Mike Armstrong.
