He was responsible for art direction on several projects, such as Two crazy people in Mar del Plata (2009) and Born to Die (2014). You are currently editing Bizarrophiliahis first feature-length documentary, about bizarre cinema in Argentina.
Since 2014, Turzi has participated sporadically as an editor in various independent media. She has been through The Fourth Wall, Loco x el cine, Cinergia, Cine Fantástica y Bizarro and Terror.com.ar. She also did radio: she brought national cinema themes to Spoiler Alert (Radio Border), had a column on federal cinema in The Cinephile Preview (Radio Colmena) and with Cine Doroga in Fakin Vicio, on Radio Monk, revisiting Argentine cinema outside the canon.
