White Lady (2022)

Episode 1: Shooting A Film In 48-Hours

A story about unrequited love and revenge. It follows a young man haunted by the ghost of his ex-fiance in their place of employment. In this very first episode of Flavor of the Month we interview members of the creative team behind the film: Marc (Director), Carlo (Actor) and Paolo (Writer). We talk about the filmmaking process for making a film from script to completion in only 48-hours, the challenges they face, and also all the fun stories of collaboration between the team.
