Documentaries
- Feature and short documentaries
- Awarded and distributed internationally
- Two titles in production
Documentaries are where we take the most time, and the most risk. The Iso Rivolta Chronicles came out of that, and so do The Missing Head and The Maserati Chronicles, both in production.
What distinguishes us from other production houses here is an instinct that comes from advertising and branded content: an audience in mind, a running time that respects it, and a finish that stands next to broadcast work.
IN PRODUCTION · Three-part series
The Maserati Chronicles

The Missing Head
In a world before AI, two visionaries create an android of writer Philip K. Dick, only to face the consequences of fame threatening their friendship and of a machine questioning its own existence.
Originally titled “Android Phil”, the project began in 2019, marking CROMO's inaugural venture into canonical documentary productions. Our documentary concept was chosen at the Italian Docs Screenings in Turin.
Our journey took us to locations such as Hong Kong, Rotterdam, Oxford, and Genova.
This project boasts both high entertainment value and a sophisticated visual style.

RELEASED 2015 · Feature documentary · Argentina
Hotel Turismo
Hotel Turismo is a 2015 documentary filmed in Argentina, exploring the past and future aspirations of the native tribes of Formosa. Formosa is the northernmost province of Argentina, located on the border with Paraguay.
After the devaluation of the peso in 2002, investments were made to transform the city and its province into an international tourist paradise. However, just a few miles outside the capital, the stark poverty of the surrounding territory becomes evident.
The local communities are made up of native peoples who, until now, have lived almost entirely isolated from the rest of the world.
A Mattia Balsamini and Edoardo Vojvoda production.
