are a couple of hours to return to Madrid. I think he's good to look back at what has happened in the last three weeks. When I landed in December, here in Amantea, I have not calculated all the good things that have happened, let alone all the wonderful people I've met along this journey.
My dear friend Andrea Scala had helped me get everything ready for the summer and was in charge of the bureaucratic part of the project. Now, it continued to Starmie next most unexpected finding aid one side or the other.
I must confess that I did not have a specific plan and organized about what I did in December. My goal was to meet the mayor and get sponsor. Along the way, I let go of my nervousness and my ideas that would not have taken place without the provision of the wonderful people I met.
This summer I did the blog and I kept inactive until now, because I did not have much to write, but to wait. Fortunately, the answer came. Many people, overwhelmed by curiosity, approached me and offered cooperation.
Among them Maria Chiara Luca Siciliano and Mendicino, two young boys who are still attending school and had no interest beyond making a cortometraggio.Ho responded and remained in contact with them, thinking that they could of myself ' help during the shoot by something. I had no idea what yet. I liked the idea of \u200b\u200ba big family decided to implement the project.
To my surprise, it was discovered that these two guys have been essential to progress by leaps and bounds that we did. Maria Chiara, for its part, I did contact the High School of Amantea and I was able to reunite with the boys (another idea conceived at the time).
Luke, however, introduced me to his mother, Loredana Mendicino, a sort of Fairy Godmother Project Amantea. She, who at first thought it was all a lie, after knowing me, has decided not only to help but to organize almost every meeting, talk to a thousand people, etc.. Scored, for example, that the Hotel Mediterraneo lend us their space to do a casting. I had not even thought about a casting.
So we did it with the great help of Luke and the participation of almost all his family. Of course, I have to thank Enzo Alfano for lending us your hotel and be so kind and reliable with us.
Lorenzo continued to help and so he approached actors like Constantine Committee, Radio Amantea, and gave a hand to get the lights. All this in a selfless act, in principle, because he knew that we had no money, so she put all her strength to this idea, the calls from his mobile phone, the gas to drive from one place to another, physical time, in short, to go all out. I just do not yet understand how someone so committed to the dream of another. And this made me think about many things.

Luca took us to the Accounting Department, his school, where Dean has opened its doors in a very cordial and kind, and thanks to Professor Di Tanna I had one of the best matches of this journey, with all those kids full of curiosity and willingness to help.
As the days passed, I became convinced that this project can get a lot and this story can be told.
not just make films. It is using the cinema to make something bigger, something else. The idea is to unite as a people, as a region, as a society, and with a crew that helps bring the fiction with cameras and lights.
The message is "do cinema", but whatever your dream, follow it and trasmettilo others. Because when we unite to do things when we all dream the same direction but respecting our individuality when we function as a collective without losing personal identity, become an unparalleled force, a force able to paint dreams of this region and many other. If everyone helps each other to achieve his dream, everything will live happier and more importantly, we will be better.
not forget that it was a visionary who discovered the fire and sent to his people, making a great progress in human history.
I chose to make films because I think that has an incredible power of cohesion and I chose to do instead of fiction, documentary, because the lies are the purest way to get to the truth. Because when we tell stories is baited to find those stories. I want to instigate Amantea to know their roots, to know their faces, their voices, their colori.Ci succeed, but we will get together. We need all the amanteani, every idiot who wants to dream together with us to implement this project.
This was not, is not, nor ever will be a speech with the purpose of political or economic interests. It is a social discourse and the only interest is to build the road to create this short film. The goal is to find among all the ideal platform to inject directly into the veins of culture, because the movies, like music or books, are sempre.Grazie for everyone: kids, schools, teachers, people on the street that I asks with curiosity, sellers of newspapers that I say good luck, those who attended appeared to be the Orchestra his attention and participation, the radio, the mayor, everybody, you all in the same way, many thanks. Thanks. See you in April through the machine to recover.
