During the Lockdown of 2020
I made films.
A Film Noir / A Scene from Shakespeare / A Dance Narrative.
“… an artistic triumph of creativity.
The production values are astonishing.
Incredibly this is an entirely one-man project.”
– Dance Europe

Lockdown Boulevard. A Film Noir.
(adapted from ‘Sunset Boulevard’, Movie and Musical)
Made alone … as solo d.o.p., designer, editor and performer.
This was a 5 week project with a shoot over 4 days and nights.
…………………………………
Prospero / The Tempest.
“Ye Elves” – Act 5, Sc 1
A monologue from ‘The Tempest’.
It resonates strongly with Lockdown.
People alone with time to consider their lives.
A single set-up. A claustrophobic atmosphere to represent Prospero’s cell and the island itself.
Just a hand held camera moving around my head and the details of the set.
Made alone … as solo d.o.p., designer, editor and performer.
…………………………………
A Sense of Dawn. A Narrative in Movement.
(Il Verso dell’Alba)
This film was a commission by the culture office of my Town Hall
to mark stepping out of quarantine.
My collaborator, as photographer/editor, was Francesco Ferrarini.
