Here Where The Sea Shines
A little dog named Rosy is the mascot of Marina Grande, a small port area in Sorrento. Today, Rosy turns 10 and helps her 60-year-old male owner work at the bar, socializing with the customers and watching the fishermen and the sea. Rosy has a past as a fisherman with her previous owner and she's the link between the merchants and residents of Marina di Sorrento.
Today there's a really sharp difference between old villages and modernized towns.

Italian-American director and screenwriter. Born in 1985.
This is the first short movie i'm submitting to festivals.
Actually i'm living in Rome, Italy.
I prefer movies that convey emotion and are shot with heart.
Music and gazes capture certain emotions better than images and words do.
