Tales on which Sydney Sibilia, known to have worked I stop when I want, The incredible story of Rose Island And Mixed by Erryhe chose to bring it to the small screen as his first series film.
Absolute protagonists of the Sky project titled They killed Spider-Manin addition to the songs, the stories of the young singers. An incredible new springboard for Elia Nuzzolo, who plays Max Pezzali alongside Matteo Oscar Giuggioli like Repetto.
It was not easy for the production to choose the right performers: “The actors were the crucial role. We were ready to stop if we hadn’t found the two protagonists. We did 6 months of auditionsusually there is only one director, there were 3 of us and we seemed to be the judges of the Chef. The actors must have gotten several yeses! When Elia and Matteo arrived, we didn’t have many doubts. We were very focused, because recruiting actors is only the first phase, then we have to devote ourselves to the rest, which we forgot to tell them! We kept calling Elia to try on the look, at one point he asked us, “But how many tests do we need to do?” In fact, we already had itbut we never told him,” Sydney Sibilia said.
A choice coming from the heart, which nevertheless brought excellent results: after the first embarrassments, the two seem perfect to interpret the 883: Elia declared be ready to sing with the lessons of Ciro Caravano dei Neri per Caso, managing to obtain a more than satisfactory result.
The rest then came by itself: working on the story of two young, unsure of themselves boys from the provinces who they pursue their dream becoming bigger stars is a big test for Elia and Matteo who, in some sense, can say they know this feeling.
