Federico J. Arioni began making short films at a very young age, driven by a passion for storytelling. Self-taught, he honed his craft and expanded his knowledge until he created his first feature film, A Fistful of Pesos (2015), a crime film influenced by the works of Sergio Leone. In 2019, he completed his second feature, Nobody is Crazy, a drama with fantastical and psychological elements about a teenager with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and his connection to time travel. In both films, Arioni served as writer, director, and producer. Nobody is Crazy began its international distribution in 2022, receiving praise from critics worldwide. The film won three Best Film awards and one Best Director award at various festivals in the United States. It was also declared of interest by the Legislative Power of the Province of Neuquén. His works have been showcased at film festivals in Argentina, the United States, Mexico, India, Spain, and Croatia.
