Declaration

film director

“Making a film about a great actress was both a challenging and extremely stimulating experience. Piera Degli Esposti’s story is an example of love for life and for a demanding but exceptionally rewarding job. So I decided to focus on the objective of building a sort of guide for upcoming actors and for the new generations in general.”
