Thank you, Paolo Sorrentino, for pushing me beyond my limits when it seemed impossible.
Receiving your compliments at the end of such an intense experience is something I will carry with me for a long time.
In ten days in Patagonia, I lost and found myself, faced my fears, and managed — alone and in a very short time — to make a short film that truly represents me.
A man of heart, ironic and straightforward: you taught me that sometimes a director has to stop overthinking and trust their instincts.
It was a rare privilege to share the creative process — and the simplicity of everyday life — with you on the other side of the world.
Thank you to Estephania and the incredible Playlab team for this opportunity, and for believing in me even during the hardest moments.
Thank you to the generous people of San Martín de los Andes, to my extraordinarily talented travel companions, and especially to Georgios. Without him, this experience would not have been the same.
I return home with indelible memories, new friends from all over the world, and the certainty that sometimes you have to get lost in order to find your voice again.
“Genikó” is now in post production and I hope you’ll be able to watch it soon.
Edoardo.
