Ristabbanna (2009) is a film by Italian independent filmmaker Gianni Cardillo. I interviewed him about the experience of making an indie film in Italy where their biggest rival is not studio, unlike in the U.S., but the Italian government minister of culture.

Gianni’s film is independent! For five years he searched for a producer and never found one, despite the fact that many producers loved the script but were not in position to realize the film. Last year a professor friend of his was chatting with a makeup artist friend and asked: “Why don’t I let the producer I’m working with read the film that is being made in Albania?” The producer read his film, loved it and finally he got funding for his film. The film stars Ben Gazzara and Tiziana Lodato and will be released soon!

**Not yet released and freshly edited, stay tuned for a more complete interview with writer/director Gianni Cardillo.
