Press: Little Italy Podcast

What an experience to be interviewed live on the Deborah Kobylt LIVE show. In case you missed it you can find it streaming on YouTube. We discuss the making of the film and our inspiration for it!

Please welcome to our show, Bryan and Stephanie Mazzarello, creators of their brilliant short film, “Make Me Italian,” which follows the story of an Italian-American man attempting to prove his Italian citizenship through ancestry so he can attain an Italian passport.

The story is loosely based on Bryan’s experience of getting his Italian passport, and it’s quite a story. We talk with Bryan about that, and also how he was motivated to do this after a backpacking trip through Europe landed on the very soil where his grandparents lived. Let’s just say he felt the calling. Stephanie was the co-writer and production designer on the film, and this is so beautifully shot and choreographed, we discuss that with her as well.
