The Wedding Cake reaching its 50th selection by entering the prestigious and beautifully curated Afrodite Short film festival in Rome! It’s hard to believe my little short reached this far, I’m delighted!!
The festival will take place from March 29 to 31 thru the platform Mymovies, and will be competing among other 20 shorts. The list is also here on Cinecittà News.
I am really proud The Wedding Cake is going to screened at the Lecce Film Festival whenever that is going to take place, after the health restrictions!
In the meanwhile, I am extremely excited that I will be meeting girls and boys from a local school in Lecce next week, online, to talk about my ideas about filmmaking and art in general.
This is really cool, I very much look forward to this, especially because I am very fond of this festival, where my first narrative short, “Midsommar”, was selected back in 2014! The Lecce Film Festival was actually the first festival I ever traveled to, and I will never forget that.

She starts with more traditional performances but realizes that if she wants a break-through she must do more extreme scenes; so, she agrees to BDSM and double anal, with apparent indifference. The only time she feels violated is during a shoot where the male actors are very aggressive and she reacts showing emotional distress. Continue reading
A small digital festival with a strong political intent – El grito de los sin voz – has selected both The Wedding Cake and Just Looking for this edition. I am apparently appreciated in Spain 🙂
Back to Spain! I was already missing it! I am currently participating with The Wedding Cake at the seventh edition of the Festival Internacional de Cine en Corto Ciudad de Consuegra, that will go on until February 28. Disfrutalo! 😉
Cool! A new positive result for The Wedding Cake, landing on 27-28 March in New Orleans for the jellyFEST film festival! This year it will be obviously an online event, where TWC is competing as finalist. Let’s hope for the best! 🙂
