BEHIND THE FRAME | From Hamlet to Neon Lights
In a world that forces us to choose between being authentic and being accepted, we chose to question the question itself. From existential doubt to empowered choice. The eternal question becomes 'WHO to be?' From Hamlet's castle to neon lights. The challenge? Making it work.

Sorry, Shakespeare. I promise I meant well. – Produced by Jumpp Films Agency: Change Design Creative Director: Renato Montagner Production Manager: Alessandro Salerno Producer: Angela Correra 1AC: Jonas Ongaro Scenography: Caterina Pomante Costumes: Elena Monti MUA: Claudia Loi

Making films is an act of faith Hello Reader,last January 2025 I was in Trieste for When East Meets West, one of the most important co-production forums in Europe. There I met Andrea Magnani of Pilgrim Film, and from that informal conversation a collaboration was born. I had a story in mind for a short film and turned it into a screenplay: a father and a daughter, the same summer road trip every year to Friuli. A distraction at the gas station, petrol instead of diesel, and they find...
