Chiara Tilesi is an Italian film producer with a philanthropic outlook. She is the founder of the nonprofit film production organization “We Do It Together”, whose purpose is to finance, and produce films, documentaries, and other media forms dedicated to the empowerment of women and minorities, by telling their stories. We Do It Together will establish a new cultural paradigm, promoting gender equality in the film industry, and shift the prevailing imbalance until society will embrace and adopt a gender blind approach.

We Do It Together’s first feature presentation will follow the model Chiara implemented in her feature film All the Invisible Children, which she produced in favor of the United Nations agencies UNICEF, and World Food Programme. The movie, released in 120 countries, was directed by eight internationally acclaimed directors (Spike Lee, Ridley and Jordan Scott, Emir Kusturica, John Woo, Stefano Veneruso, Katia Lund, Mehdi Charef). She also produced the music video of the movie’s theme song, "Teach me again" performed by Elisa and Tina Turner.
Chiara moved to the United States when she was eighteen, to attend Loyola Marymount University Los Angeles, California, where, in 1995 she graduated Cum Laude in Liberal Arts. In her early years she wrote a book of poetry entitled "Amore amore mio", which earned her the Fiorino D'Oro Award. She produced the Behind the Scenes of the Academy Award winner movie "Il Postino", and won Best Story and Narration Award at the International Backstage Festival of Bologna. In 1995 she produced a short film entitled "I'm Sophie and You?" The film won various awards, and was acquired and broadcast by the Italian national network RAI Television. In 1997 Chiara returned to Italy to produce the compact disc "Nei Tuoi Occhi", as a tribute to Massimo Troisi. The CD, a collection of love poems by the poet Pablo Neruda read by famous Italian artists, eventually enjoyed great commercial success and critical acclaim. In 1998 Chiara produced the short film entitled "Effetto Lunare", (What about the Moon?). 2001 saw her production of the short film "Strani Accordi", coproduced and distributed by Universal. The film was a great commercial success and for the first time in Italy a short film was released in 100 theaters. In 2005 the movie “All the Invisible Children” premiered at the Venice Film Festival. In 2011 she produced the docu-film about the life of Franco Califano "We, People of September" selected at the Rome Film Festival 2011.
Since 2010, her philanthropic inclination was displayed once again in her position of Event Vice Chair of Rock the Kasbah, benefiting the Eve Branson Foundation, and Virgin Unite, non-profit foundations of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group. She is a member of the UNICEF Chinese Children's Initiative Advisory board. She also joined the board of directors of the non-profit organization Children Mending Hearts. The latest philanthropic efforts see her as the founder of Globunity, a global cultural event and digital media platform that focuses on creativity and arts. Its mission is to inspire creative people in their personal life and in the cultural evolution of our world.
