Domenico Proccaci's company Fandango debuted with the 1990 Italian film La Stazione (TheStation), the debut film for director Sergio Rubini, which won the Critics Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
Domenico began his close association with the Australian film industry by producing Rolf de Heer's feature Bad Boy Bubby, which was selected for competition at Venice winning the Special Jury Prize, and which won four Australian Film Institute (AFI) Awards in 1995. Domenico worked with de Heer on his subsequent films Epsilon The Quiet Room (selected In Competition for Cannes in 1996) and Dance Me to My Song (selected In Competition for Cannes in 1998).
Domenico also steered Fandango into a series of successful co-productions with European partners, while maintaining a strong production base in Italy.
