Alessandro Marzullo with Best Production Award for Unica
at Calabria Movie International Short Film Festival 2022.

The director of Unica, Alessandro Marzullo, was there to present the short, interviewed by the actress Giorgia Arena, “Godmother” of the evening.

Giorgia Arena:
“When I saw the short I was very impressed. You talk about the values of society, aesthetics and beauty. Tell us a little about this short…”

Alessandro Marzullo:
“In the era we are living in, it is very difficult to understand what values we must follow. The world has changed a lot in the last thirty years, even very quickly. Social networks are a recent phenomenon, which affects us closely. All of us from the show business, but also those who are sitting here in the audience tonight, have to deal with our own image. In my opinion this theme deserved a deep reflection, which I expressed with this short film”.
