In addition to his administrative work at Rosalia Films, Mr. Farina has directed several notable projects. In 2015, he has directed "The Holistic Life Foundation: Breathing Love into a Community," a short film that highlights community-driven initiatives. He is also the producer, director and writer of "Coloring the Landscape" and "Stars Over the Sea," both of which explore the contributions of resident artists of the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection.

Mr. Farina attributes his success to his deep passion for his work. Rather than boasting about his achievements, he focuses on continually improving his relationship with the subject matter. He prefers to immerse himself in the work and draw inspiration from his observations. In his early 20s, he started to engage with others, listen and cultivate empathy. Although he had a turbulent past, it shaped him significantly and contributed to his growth.

Mr. Farina's career has been marked by his leadership roles within various organizations. From 2013 to 2019, he served on the steering committee and co-chaired the speakers' committee for TEDx, where he played a pivotal role in curating thought-provoking content and fostering innovative discussions.

Prior to embarking upon his professional journey, Mr. Farina earned a Bachelor of Arts in American government and politics from the University of Virginia in 1982. Decades later, he received a Master of Arts in communications from American University in 2002. These academic achievements have provided him with a robust foundation for his career, enabling him to navigate the complexities of film production with a nuanced understanding of political and social dynamics.

Outside of his career, Mr. Farina enjoys traveling and hitchhiking, activities that allow him to connect with different cultures and perspectives. Looking ahead, he has ambitious goals for the next five to 10 years, including releasing several unique films. One such project is a nostalgic look back at the Pet Band from the University of Virginia, known for its outrageous performances. Another film delves into the philosophical concept of mortality through interviews with individuals in the end-of-life industry. Collaborating with Essential on this project, Mr. Farina aims to provoke thought about the finite nature of life.
