On this episode of the Film Sessions Podcast, we are excited to feature Andrea Quartarone:
“My name is Andrea and I am a young filmmaker and actor from Italy: I lived in a very small town in northern Italy until 10 years old. Since there weren’t so many children to play with, me and my brother Matteo used to create short videos for fun, recreating scenes from films or creating ads for the company that we dreamt to own together in the future. However, my filmmaking journey started at 11 years old when I made my first short film, “Pedala Veloce,” where my 8-year-old brother rode on his bike through the streets of our town, trying to escape from some criminals. Two years later I made an action-spy short film, “Fratelli in Gioco,” with the help of my brother and uncle. This year I have made “Awake Nightmare – Mal di Sonno,” my last short film and the first one I submitted to film festivals, for which I won the Best pre-college Actor Award at the SWIFF 2022. I’ve started for fun and that’s what still spurs me to create my works: I like every part of the creation of my shorts!”
