For this project I took care of direction, editing & color, working side by side with @riccardofochesato_imaze. Together, we shaped the idea and the creative direction from the ground up, drawing inspiration from the narrative style of The Stanley Parable.
The concept revolves around an omniscient narrator interacting with the protagonist, who at first is inside his home, gradually transforming his room into a personal mancave. From there, the story transitions into a surreal training space, located within their own minds, where imagination and discipline collide. The narrative builds toward an unexpected plot twist, amplifying both the immersive quality of the story and its emotional impact.
Cinematography was led by @mauro.giordani and @riccardomelon_, with @lucadisanto0 as 1AC. Lighting was managed by Matias Laghetto, and production management by @andreapittigher.
Behind-the-scenes coverage by @riccardoroncolato; Original soundtrack composed by @underdogstudiostorino.
Shot on RED V-Raptor + Freefly Ember S5K, using DZO Vespid Prime and LAOWA 10mm Zero-D lenses.
