Why did your team choose this fairly unknown location in Italy ?
Italian movies are usually showing Rome , as it is the capital of the country , or Milan , where financial support for movies is a lot bigger , or Tuscany , which is full of foreign appeal . But our places here in Veneto have a lot to show off for : fine arts , food and wines , architecture , history , landscapes and much more . Hence , why not exploit this less-known location which has a lot to offer ?
What ’ s the plan now that you released the first 3 episodes ?
We are trying to market these initial episodes as much as we can and we are searching for sponsors in order to finish the production of the series . Recently we have participated to the Paris web series festival and we also ended up being a candidate at the Bilbao web series festival . These are great venues to show the series around and hope that tv channels notice it and get interested in it . We also have been chosen by the New York and Los Angeles web series festivals which now in The Big Apple we are in semifinal .
I am sure you guys are all very proud of what you have accomplished so far as an independent web series .

Yes , it is really cool to see the location of our web series - Carmignano di Brenta – appear close to places like Brooklyn , New York . But we have to keep working hard , this is only the beginning .
Did your team ever ask for financial support from the government ?
When it comes to the government , every single request or process takes so long , it is pretty discouraging . In the event you happen to be the winner in one of the government-supported initiatives , they tend to only pay for 10 % of the overall budget , which is obviously very little . Private support is what we really need .
OK , this is it . Thank you so much for your time and good luck ! Please click here to watch the series . They have English subtitles on them .
