Interview with producer Antonio Acampora


She Was Young With Light Eyes will premier at the Straight Jacket Guerrilla Film Festival

How did you get into making films?
It was a story I wanted to do for a long time, but only after writing the novel from which I made the film, I decided to put it on stage.

What inspired you to make your movie?
A fundamental question: how should life be lived, in extremes or in the middle?

How has your style evolved?
Over time it has changed a lot, but with this film I found the precise shape with which I wanted to tell a story like that. Halfway between the American indie style and the French one.

Tell us any strange or funny stories while making the film?
There's no better time than filming. But the best thing that happens every time an audiovisual project starts is that when everything seems lost and a scene is completely far from being realised, at that precise moment, like magic, something extraordinary happens and actors and crews hunt their best and succeed in realising the scene of the day.

The Misrule Film Movement & Pink8 manifesto bring what to mind?
Strength and sympathy at the same time.

What can we expect from your next movie?
A new story which you would never expect, something you would like to see however.
