Join the crowdfunding for "Forever Hic", my next short film

Hi Reader,

I’m working on a project that’s really close to my heart: my next short film, “Forever Hic.”

I feel the urgency to tell a story that touches something we all experience: co-dependency, toxic relationships, and that inner struggle between being stuck in the past or taking the leap into a new beginning. Yes, I know, we’ve all been there.

Matt, the protagonist, is faced with choosing between the past and a fresh start with his girlfriend Ginevra. Locked out of his house and tormented by an absurd hiccup, his night becomes a surreal journey that forces him to reflect on his life choices and the relationships that are holding him back.

Why am I asking for your support?

It’s an opportunity to create something authentic and fresh in the Italian film landscape, but to make it happen, I need your support (yes, I’m asking for money, but with style!).

Since January, I’ve been fully immersed in this project, pouring my heart and soul into it. But a part of the budget is still missing (surprise, right?!). We already have an amazing cast and crew, but we need just a little extra to close the gap and start shooting in November.

That’s why, together with Studio x01, Borotalco – the production company supporting me – and Perimetro, we are launching a crowdfunding campaign.

With your help, we can make 'Forever Hic' a reality and bring this story to the screen. You can find all the details (and rewards for those who choose to support us) on our crowdfunding page.

Crew, casting, and location

I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with some incredible professionals. Francesca Nozzolillo co-wrote the screenplay with me, bringing authenticity and a fresh perspective to the story. Edoardo Bolli will be behind the camera, with his unconventional vision. And then there are the actors, unique faces who will truly bring the characters to life.

And of course, there’s Milan, with its complex and ever-evolving charm, making it the perfect backdrop for a story about personal transformation.

We need new voices

"Forever Hic" aims to break away from the commercial cinema mold, offering a unique story that explores new territory. Italian cinema needs fresh voices, and with your help, we can bring a project to life that truly wants to make a difference.

If you can’t contribute financially, you can still support us by sharing the campaign with your contacts or on social media.

Thank you for your support, it would be amazing to have you on board!

Marco

A counter-guide to leadership Carlo Cresto-Dina is one of the most important producers in Italian cinema. I met him in Turin for a conversation for the column I curate for Perimetro, exploring independent and auteur cinema. In 2009 he founded Tempesta, the production company through which he built one of the most recognizable catalogues in European auteur cinema. He has produced all of Alice Rohrwacher's films, from Corpo Celeste to Le meraviglie, from Happy as Lazzaro to La Chimera. This...

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...

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...
