Full Bio
Lydia Fiore, an award-winning actor/writer and founder of Bella Fiore Productions, owes her filmmaking career to a ridiculously funny Tinder Date that ended prematurely. Who knew that wanting to get laid would expand her storytelling from actor to screenwriter and filmmaker.

Lydia continues to create stories about women, particularly women over 40 that center around love, sex, aging and partying. Did we mention sex†Her first feature length screenplay LOVE BIG a Gen-Xer RomCom with a touch of raunch has received several screenwriting honors.

Screenplay (Comedy)Log Line:
On the verge of turning 55, a bawdy but charming New York fashion executive still searching for love meets a warmhearted widower and is struck by colpo di fulmine (“the thunderbolt”), only to learn that love has a timeline of its own.Synopsis:
LOVE BIG is a Gen-Xer RomCom with a touch of raunch, set in New York/New Jersey about a 50-something Italian-American fashion executive, Gina, who meets Joe, a music teacher and grieving widower. When sparks fly on their first encounter, they sleep together only to discover that a romantic relationship is not possible because Joe is still grieving. While Gina tries on-line dating, Joe writes a song for Gina, and a friendship grows between them. When they unwittingly come face-to-face as a result of a sex site match, Gina swears off love just as Joe comes to terms with his grief. Joe, at a community concert, plays his song for Gina. They have an impassioned argument, finally realizing that they are both ready for love.
