Here is a film that I never thought I could make. It is a short excerpt from my short story "Cosworth", which contains an explicit sex scene; in reality it was this scene that gave me more to think about: where could I find an actor who would have lent himself to shoot an absurd sex scene? Instead I did it, and Gabriele, who plays this scene, did a great job in my opinion. Even Mattia, the one who plays the brother of the protagonist, did a good job, knowing almost nothing about the story. In fact with this short I went back to old loves: shooting a film without a script, improvising everything from the story. Also this time Chiara was by my side, both as an actress and as an executive producer, finding suitable locations and actors. And this time also a make-up artist, Claudia, who followed us all the time of filming. A separate note deserves the director of photography, that Piero Cannata already director of successful short films, winners of various awards in national festivals. Piero did an excellent job, photographing all the scenes set in the garage, without ever discussing my choices but taking care of every visual aspect of the scenes with precision.
An absolutely revolutionary thing for my short film is the presence of original music, not stolen from other soundtracks, but created on purpose by Federico Parzianello, really good at creating those electronic sounds that I love very much. And I must say that they gave the short thing more that pleases me ...
The anatomical parts, the severed limbs that appear in the film, created by Marco Ristori and David Bracci are particularly beautiful.
But as always the most beautiful thing was the pleasure of shooting together, of trying to do something well done, without forgetting the fun of doing it. The only negative note: during the filming my camera hit the buck, she died. Fortunately it turned out that the actor, Gabriele, accidentally had a new camera in the car ...
All is well what ends well, and now the word is up to you.
