CHI L'HA VISTO - WHO SAW HIM

CHI L'HA VISTO - WHO SAW HIM coasts on the charisma of its subject, Gianni Meurer, a young man who was raised in Berlin by his German mother but decides to search for the Italian father he hasn't seen in over 20 years. The biographical details are reportedly true, the action pure fiction.

The interweaving of elements of reality and fiction is a characetristic of my debut film, which tells with honest sympathy of the deep unease of its protagonist and the journey of a friendship through an alternative, unremarkable and undiscovered Italy.

When completed, the film was shown at several festivals, including the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, the Montréal World Film Festival, the Torino Film Festival,  the Atlanta Film Festival, the Mix Mexico Sexual Diversity Film Festival and the Film Festival Max Ophüls. The film was very well received and we got lots of positive feedback.

"A film, emanating from a deep personal need, whose persuasive honesty touches the audience." (Torino Film Festival)

Now we want bring the film into German theaters, followed by an international release in cinemas worldwide and distribution via DVD and download. Five cinemas in Germany have agreed to host the premiere of Chi l'ha visto in August 2011. Until then, we need to produce the necessary copies and create some awareness for the film.

At the moment we are running a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo (international) and on startnext (Germany). The money goes straight into the production of film copies for the theatrical release, the subtitling, recording of audio comments, DVD-authoring, promotional material (posters, postcards, trailer production etc.), press screenings, travel and transportation and general marketing activities.

So please visit us on IndieGoGo or startnext and tell all your friends about CHI L'HA VISTO - WHO SAW HIM
