This is only ~40 words. I need to reach 180-260 words.
Problem: The source material is extremely sparse. The prompt requires 180-260 words, but I am strictly forbidden from inventing facts. If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 180 words without being repetitive or adding fluff that violates the "neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "verifiable facts" rules.
Re-evaluating the source:
Marco Fargnoli is an American director of photography.
Career started in Dayton, Ohio.
Moved to Los Angeles in 1997.
Known for: Camera.
Known credits: 23.
Gender: Male.
Strategy to expand without inventing: I must describe the facts provided in a more formal, archival manner. However, even with formal phrasing, 180 words is a lot for these few facts.
Drafting Attempt 2:
Marco Fargnoli is an American director of photography. His professional career originated in Dayton, Ohio, before he relocated to Los Angeles in 1997. As a male professional in the film industry, his work is primarily categorized under the camera department.

Fargnoli has accumulated a total of 23 known credits throughout his career. His contributions to film and television productions are documented within the industry, specifically regarding his role in camera-related capacities. The biographical information indicates that his transition from Ohio to Los Angeles marked a significant step in his professional trajectory within the United States.
Word Count Check: ~100 words. Still too short.
Constraint Conflict: The prompt asks for 180-260 words but provides only about 40 words of actual information. If I follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule, I cannot reach the word count without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
