Amnesiac gap

Coming back to the metropolis enshrining one's own childhood memories, especially after a long amnesiac gap, can be a traumatic experience itself: Adam Clairfield facing the mutated urbanscape of his forgotten past. Still from Alessandro Fantini's "New York, a venture" (2014).

The Main theme






The first excerpt from the soundtrack is the "Main theme", a track composed in a few hours in March, 3 months before the principal photography in New York.

"New York, a venture" - the first official trailer




After 7 months since I completed the script and 1 month since I finished shooting, now I can say that what looked like an overambitious and almost utopic project firstly summarized by a bunch of papers and a pre-production teaser, is finally taking shape between my hands while I'm assembling the last frames, sounds and effects into a living mosaic of real and imaginary lives.

My deepest gratitude to the cast and all the people who joined this "extrasensory" enterprise throughout the sensory overload of Manhattan:

Craig Williams aka Adam Clairfield,
 Kyrie Vickers aka Amy Bolnes,
 Henrik Kim Rehr aka the Lunatic of Central Park,

Karen Goldfarb aka the Lady of Central Park,
Lincoln Athas as camera assistant, 

Vincenzo Fantasia
and Said Raissi  aka the Runners.

 
More news and content to come in the next days.

Existential meeting in New York



While scouting new locations for my movie in Manhattan, during a warm urban afternoon, Willem Dafoe crossed my path and he seemed quite enthusiastic to discover that I was an Italian artist from the same region of her wife. "Sono Italiano anch'io" - I'm Italian too!" he proudly declared in a perfect Italian accent with a large, generous smile. During that "existential meeting", having studied Pasolini's opus and life for many years, I realized he was the perfect choice, physical wise and spiritual wise, for playing the Casarsa poet in the new Abel Ferrara's movie that has been screened at Venice Film festival. Many wishes Willem, and thanks again for your large-hearted words. It has been like meeting Pier Paolo himself in a twilight zone between New York and Rome.
