“The Wedding Cake” meets students in Lecce!
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.
