In the fall of 2024 I made Lasciare, my first ever short film, as a grant recipient of the Russo Brothers' Italian American Filmmakers Forum.
Heavily influenced by my own family, Lasciare follows a single day in the life of Luna Fadricci, and Italian-American immigrant. Over Sunday dinner in the years 1944, 1984 and 2024, Luna reconciles with the meaning of home, the cost of identity, and all that is left behind.
"lasciare"
