Leonardo Dooderman was born in Italy in November 17, 1977.
As an illustrator, he collaborates with several European and American literary reviews and newspapers (New York Review of Books, Edison Square, Retrospective and others).
His works are exhibited in numerous national and international expositions and also in private collections all around the world (Dorotheum Auction House, Wien - collectors from New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Baku, Bologna, Milan, Rome, Florence, Pescara, Delft, Amsterdam, Paris).
Leonardo Dooderman is also portraitist (pencil, pen, hand made),
a photographer ("LeavItaly project", an involved, elegant critique of his country of origin, Italy, through the looks of women.),
a writer ("Illustraphorisms" that includes aphorisms, short tales, dialogues and illustrations),
a communication consultant (marketing/advertising campaign, copywriting, events communication as theatral shows, art exhibitions, and political elections) bringing his own approach and his skills available for clients) and
a filmmaker (video clips for bands, and short films. "La Fiorista (The Florist)", "Proof of Love", “Il Primo giorno (The First Day)”, "Faites Vos Jeux").
This short film was shot in Italy during the desolation caused by the Covid 19. The streets were empty. Logistically, making this film was not easy. The city was deserted and we had to be very careful not to be noticed by the police. We had all the permissions, but we would have risked being interrupted often to explain what we were doing. A natural atmosphere of desolation and uncertainty helped us expressively. The film was shot in 3 days during the national lockdown. It was an intense experience. We (me and the staff) hope it will be useful in relieving and distracting from everything that is happening in the world due to the covid virus.
