“Best Director” award from Lecce Film Fest!


JUBILATION!!!

The jury of the Lecce Film Festival decided to award me with “The Director of the Year 2021” prize for The Wedding Cake!

I would have been really happy for this prize regardless, of course, but hearing the boys and girl from the jury reading their motivations moved me to tears… It is for them I made this short, and all the other chapters of my coming feature “Silent Flesh”.

I wish to thank Nicola Neto and Ornella Striani for their unreserved efforts to organize meaningful cinema experiences despite to health restrictions: thank you!
