Emmett Best
Born in Venice in 1944.
After completing his studies in the lagoon city, fascinated by the aesthetic pleasure and artistic experimentation, he moved to Paris, where he worked first as an illustrator for major magazines and later as a gallery owner. As specialized publisher he oversaw important publications and monographs on drawing and photography, with a focus on artists’ books. A tireless traveler and prolific author, he has also worked in theater and cinema, writing numerous treatments and screenplays for films made between 1999 and 2005, years in which he associated with Pablo Echaurren, Enrico Baj, Achille Cavellini, Vittore Baroni and Piermario Ciani. On the death of Ciani, he became the curator of the unpublished legacy of the artist. On the occasion of an artists’ dinner in Geneva, organized by Ciani, he met Devo Vincente. From this encounter began a solid and deep friendship. Together, the two accomplished successfully many artistic projects. In 2006 they founded the PMC Talent Agency, a recruiting agency of new faces for the cinema, with the objective to revolutionize the aesthetic approach of the international film business.
