In the summer of 1994, he rallied his friends Rio Valledor, Jon Mark Bagnall and brother Paul Carluccio to begin production on the Battle Sounds: Hip-Hop DJ Documentary.
Carluccio and his team recorded over 200 hours of material in New York City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco and London.
Pulling from his five-hour rough cut, Carluccio created a 60-minute excerpt reel for Battle Sounds' premiere at the Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial Exhibit.
Unfortunately, beyond the two versions, “The Whitney Cut” and an earlier VHS release titled X-ersize #1, a film about the X-Men DJ crew, audiences never had the chance to see the full scope of the project.
[citation needed] Through the Battle Sounds project, Carluccio gained credibility in the DJ community and continued to collaborate with turntablists for many years to come.
In 2000, Carluccio directed The Price of Getting Up,[12][13] a short film that documented the attempted police shutdown of “Street Market," a collaborative installation with graffiti artists Barry McGee, Todd James and Stephen Powers (ESPO) at Deitch Projects in New York City.
The film was part of a DVD-zine project titled MOVE that he produced with fellow Brooklyn filmmakers Joey Garfield and Gabor Stibinger.
Continuing his work with Forman, in 2010 he released the short film Cease & Desist,[14] aka Ari Can't Talk About It, which explored sneaker collector culture, color trends and copyright infringement when Forman transformed the lively branding of Newport cigarettes into a limited run Nike-like sneaker.
In 2016, Carluccio returned to BRIC[17][18] to produce and direct the arts special All Together Now!, featuring Dan Zanes, Bomba Yo!, The Fillipino Youth Ensemble and Ganesha James.
He executive produced over 400 videos, and co-founded the Dubspot Original Programming arm which created new web series and short documentaries.
As the visionary behind Dubspot Original Programming, Carluccio also produced and created Stylus Sessions,[19] an open experimental lab for the new millennium turntablist.
