Ronzìo

10’40”

The film is about Alma, a beekeeper and university student and her daily relationship with ADHD.

This type of project was commissioned. The theme, addressed by the production, revolves around educational needs. In this case I had to follow the client’s requests and develop a subject that was akin to their vision.

After the private preview at the Anteo Spazio Cinema Ronzío begins its festival journey with Shorts Fit Distribution.

A very difficult job for me, for us, born from talking to school children, their needs and fears. We stepped aside (as a cinema-machine) with our special effects and distorted lenses, in an attempt to tackle the theme of the learning disorder through the emotions and discomforts of those who suffer from it. I would like to thank all the wonderful people who worked on the project.

Produced by Officine in collaboration with IED and Indiana Production.
