Manage episode 453461492 series 3305505
In today's episode, I interview Marco Pergeo, the director of the short film "Dovecote," a intimate look at one woman's preparation to leave prison. Filmed in a working women's prison in Venice and featuring actual inmates, the film stars Zoe Saldaña and is qualified for the 97th Academy Awards.
Listen to hear about how Marco came to make this film with his friend an mentor Alexander Dinelaris, the planning that went into creating a film that looks like it is composed of one continuous shot, and how Marco decided to feature his wife in the lead role.
