The first time I saw a film by Michelangelo Frammartino, I was amazed by the beautiful precision of his living paintings, his ways into building metaphysical experiences. To have the chance of conceiving and creating a film with his guidance, seems to me a surreal adventure I cannot wait to embark myself on.
