While having lunch at our favorite Italian Restaurant in Redwood City, Donato Enoteca, I see a film crew shooting an indie movie nearby.
Donato tells me that they’ll shoot in his restaurant the next day and I convince him to talk to the producer because I’d love to shoot the actors.
The next day I’m shooting crew and actors during a dining scene. I don’t realize that the food on the table is for the actual scene and since I’m staving I eat a slice of pizza…
The producer likes so much the images I shot that they ask me to come back for a weekend shooting on location and a paid gig!
Nadia and I spend the weekend shooting the crew and actors in a villa.
Driving home this music, heard for the first time in Milan in 1994, magically resurface on my brain and becomes the soundtrack of this little montage.

Unfortunately the movie release is still in limbo.

Enjoy!
