Matias Lorieri was born in Treviso, Italy. He is a polyglot actor and freelance Business Strategy Consultant with focus on the movie/entertainment & consumer goods sectors. Matias is perfectly trilingual in Italian, German, English and speaks fluent French, upper intermediate Mandarin Chinese and basic Spanish. He can also learn lines in Cantonese.

Matias earned an MBA with distinction from HKU in November 2019, focusing his capstone project on improving the business strategy of Netflix & his electives on strategy of movie companies/OTT platforms. The choice to focus his MBA studies on the entertainment sector was due to both his academic interest in OTT platform business models and lifelong passion for movies (Matias is an avid film collector, in particular Hong Kong/Asian cinema, and owns a DVD/Blu-Ray library of 900+ titles). As a consequence, Matias focused his post-MBA efforts on the film sector in Mainland China, a country he has been living in for over 13 years. He gained insight into China's film production sector via a Project Management/Action team Member experience (1 of 80 selected of more than 800) for Bona Film Group's "The Battle at Lake Changjin" & "The Battle at Lake Changjin II: Watergate Bridge", China's biggest epic productions so far with over 7000 people involved in the production. During the shooting, Matias was also cast for a two-minute one-on-one scene with Chinese Superstar Jackson Yee (Better Days, 2019 & Full River Red, 2023). Subsequently Matias was cast as a Special Feature in "The Wandering Earth II" (2022) & Chen Kaige's "The Volunteers: to the War" (2023).

When he's not involved in actual productions, he's busy with his consulting work. Matias advised a leading Asian entertainment company that creates and distributes branded pay-TV channels on IP/content development & production. He is currently advising a US film studio real estate & operations leader on its Asia expansion & co-production plans.

Matias will keep strengthening his experience in the film sector and is as such considering potential opportunities both in front and behind the camera (in particular positions in which he can utilize his globally acquired transferable skills in business strategy, project management, foreign languages as well as his international versatility & cross-cultural awareness)
