Just got the news that "Pietra Fredda" ups its kill count at another festival and clinched another award at the 8& Halfilm Awards. I know the name sounds unique. It's actually a Fellini reference, one of my cinema icons. The Festival is a tribute to the masterpiece "8 & half" shot by Federico Fellini in 1963.
I remember studying him during my semester abroad where also I visited the Carrara Mines and became possessed with marble -- just like my main character, Ellen. As miserable as I was during that semester abroad, it really left a mark on me as an artist.
Here's a snapshot of the winners list:
And of course my certificate of excellence from the festival:
