Massimo Farina
Born and raised in Montreal, Massimo grew up listening to The Beatles and taking photographs of everything he could. His early artistic tendencies instilled in him a strong desire to work in the arts. After graduating from Concordia with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography, Massimo landed several jobs that enhanced his knowledge and experience in multimedia and paved the way for Filter Box Media.
As a musician himself, Massimo always had a desire to lend his creative skills to the music industry. In January 2008, Massimo finally quit his day job and co-founded Filter Box Media with Laura Carmosino. He hasn't looked back since. This self-proclaimed geek also dreams of owning an electric car and one day piloting his own plane.
