Biography

Andrea Falaschi, aka Frater Orion, is an Italian director specialized in occult, macabre, and horror productions. Founder of the theatrical horror metal band Deathless Legacy, he merges cinematic storytelling with a deep fascination for esotericism, ritual, and the darker side of human nature.

With a background in both music and visual arts, his work blends symbolic imagery, practical effects, and atmospheric tension. His films explore themes of transformation, forbidden knowledge, and spiritual decay, aiming to disturb, provoke, and mesmerize.

Falaschi’s unique style combines a raw, analog aesthetic with precise visual composition, echoing the influence of European horror traditions while forging a personal and unmistakable language.

From the Judges, on LEGEND (RESURRECTED) (2025)

From the Judges, on LEGEND (RESURRECTED)

A music video built around a track from a genuinely talented band, this short carries an intense, entertaining story that lands with real momentum. The panel responded to its strong hook and pacing, the polished editing that keeps every beat moving, and cinematography that frames the powerful costume design of the Marori generations with confidence. They found it one of the more accomplished pieces in its category.

From the Judges, on SANCTIFIED

A music video built on design-led storytelling, this short pours its craft into costume, makeup, and production design that the panel found incredibly realised. The lead and supporting performances carry it with real presence, and the cinematography makes striking use of strobe lighting to suit the piece's style. They also praised a powerful, well-produced song and a bold creative vision throughout.
