As we get nearer to the festival, we will be featuring the various filmmakers whose work will be screening throughout the festival.

Introduce Yourself: I was born in Milan but I now live in London, where I studied at the London Film School. Since graduation, I've worked on different projects, from short films to music videos. At the moment, I spend lots of time walking around my neighbourhood looking for my next story.

How did you become interested in filmmaking? Since I was a teenager, I've always been intrigued by storytelling, and movies seemed to me the simplest way of doing it. Obviously, once I got into it, I realised it was probably tougher.

Tell us about your inspiration and vision for the film: When I started writing the script, I decided to look for a simple story, developing it in a short span, and to focus on its characters. That's also what I kept in mind as I was shooting: being simple and direct.

What were some of the biggest challenges in making and completing the film? Directing a ferret and hiding in the trunk.

In the spirit of Jackson, what's your favorite Western? Once Upon a Time in the West, by Sergio Leone.

CAMILLE E MARIUCCI, written and directed by Samuele Romano, will screen in Student Voices II at 1:45P, Friday, June 6th at the Pink Garter Theatre and Saturday, June 7th at 10:15P at the Pink Garter Theatre.
