Last month we welcomed another director to our team, Riccardo D’Amico, who is studying film-making in London and just completed his first short ‘Blinding Lights’.
He is currently promoting the film, which was shot in Italy last winter, around local and international festivals. The first private screening of the short was held last week in his hometown of Tortona.
‘Blinding Lights’ will also be showing at the next SS screening in the early Autumn.

Last month we screened a short film in Paris alongside the ECU and also took the opportunity to shoot a short story in the meantime.

FRESH is a personal project that has been in pre-production for over a year. The already assembled cast has been waiting to begin shooting for the same amount of time. A few months ago we managed to accumulate the funding and finally decided to go ahead with the shoot.
Working on FRESH was sometimes a real challenge, as I went from making my previous film with just one actor to working with a cast of 15. We had done rehearsals but not too intensely as I wanted to capture as much spontaneity as possible on camera - something which should come across in almost every scene of the film.
At times it was a stressful experience (fire fighters called, crew being late, hungry and restless youngsters). However, it was such a rewarding experience and I’m really pleased with the final outcome. I must thank the entire cast & crew for their hard work. A specific mention must go to the lead actor Alban Doshi who showed maturity beyond his years and a real professional attitude in his approach. I’ve learned a lot from making this film and look forward to working with some of the cast again in the future. The trailer for FRESH will be out soon.
