“The Wedding Cake” at the Roma Cinema DOC

Nice with a new festival in my hometown! The Wedding Cake selected by the Roma Cinema DOC, festival selection number 65 for my little film!

Back to the Sa.Fi.Ter Festival with “The Wedding Cake”!

I am so glad to be back with The Wedding Cake to one of the best Italian festivals, the Salento Finibus Terrae International Short Film Festival (aka Sa.Fi.Ter) where I won an award 5 years ago with “Dignity”! It feels like going back home and I would have love to be there in person at the stunning Teatro Verdi of San Severo, in Apulia. That area has a special place in my heart and I would have loved to visit again (among other things, to enjoy the best food in the world – I am not exaggerating!).

I am competing in the Human Right section, and the festival will take place 19-20 June, go if you can!

A poster for “Gang Dance”!

I am so happy, proud and thrilled to present the new poster for my new VR short film “Gang Dance”, created by my favorite designer Adriana Rosati, based on the magnificent set photo by Per Larsson illustrating the great dancer Toby Kassell! I just love it!
