Frankie Facciatosta and the Search for Success -
“When I realized that the familial ancestry of Rudolph Valentino, Sylvester and Frank Stallone, John and Aida Turturro, Joe Mantegna, Francis Ford Coppola, Sofia Coppola and Nicolas Cage was all concentrated in a few square miles, I jumped to my feet and decided to produce a documentary movie on that land, called Apulia, situated in southern Italy,” explains Gianni Torres. “There was only one question: what is the secret of Apulia? So, I produced a movie with the purpose creating a route which could highlight a kind of “emigration in reverse,” carried out by the protagonist Facciatosta. I believe everybody’s real power is in their roots, which, unfortunately, are often prone to dissolve over the course of generations. This film seeks to preserve the connection to one’s past.”
Torres continues: “I came back to America, and was fortunate enough to meet with Big Screen Entertainment Group. Their dynamism and enthusiasm reflected my own, and I shared with them the evolution of this new and original project.”
