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. Together with Jumpp Films and a team who believed in the vision, we built everything from scratch - scenography that plays with identity through reflections, casting that balanced looks with genuine interpretation, and pacing that could carry this message into the social media age. 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

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...
Five unconventional people around Seattle Ciao Reader, in March I woke up at 5:00 in the morning for ten days straight. Every time in a different place in the Pacific Northwest. It was one of the most beautiful trips I've ever taken. After Japan, the new Fay Archive campaign brought me to Seattle, the San Juan Islands, Orcas Island, and Oregon, to tell the stories of five people living in radical ways. That area has a soft, diffused light, almost suspended. The sky changes constantly: low...
