Stand up. Stand tall. Move on.
Learn the tough lessons fast.
Keep the good people close.

Time to play hard, both in front and behind the camera.

One of my professional adventures was also being a Film Festival Director.

In this picture, I’m standing next to my friend Alessandro on one side, and William Nicholson on the other.

Some of you may know Alessandro- he’s a great guy.

And some of you will certainly know William Nicholson for his writing. You may recall a little film called Gladiator, directed by a guy called Ridley Scott.

Anyway, William was kind enough to be interviewed by me, and he was incredibly generous with the audience. He TRULY enjoyed being there!!!

One thing he said that stayed with me was that, as a writer, one of the best things you can do is follow your instincts.

So, no long boring chats about structure and all that stuff!

Thank you, William, for such a genuinely amazing conversation.

P.S. One day, I also called William and- after telling him how much I admired his work- I shamelessly asked him to write the screenplay for my debut feature film.

Freaking shameless request indeed!! 😂

I ended up writing the whole screenplay for Blurred myself, but that night, during the interview, I honestly learned more than I have in many film masterclasses.

Thank you, William.

Long live indie films!!
(And the Gladiator!)

I was hiding the blood, sweat, and tears of making this film pretty well.
Lots of swearing too.

A bunch of great people and myself, doing one of the things I love most: directing.

On set for ‘Blurred’.

Welcome to the cult.🧿

I still have to reply to some birthday wishes and yet to digest the high calories intake, however so far, three are my highlights for the day: the shiny eyes of my daughter when giving me her presents for mama, the surprise birthday wishes of some old old & new new friends that for some reason remembered the 30/06, and a special reminder to keep telling beautiful stories.

‘If I can laugh and cry in the same show, it means that it is a good one. ‘
