In 2010 he made his first stop-motion short film, The Melancholy Pains of Grom, which was presented in the official selection at Sitges - International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia.

With this film, Gaudio made his mark on the International Festival circuit, receiving, among others, the Grand Prix at the Samain du cinéma fantastique in Nice, the Audience Award at CineFantasy - Festival internaciona...
