Il Gomorrista

Cinematographic culture in the city of Naples lately has been heavily influenced by a certain crime-drama trend, set by shows like "Gomorra". This adds to the cultural stereotype which paints the southern italian city like a nest of crime-lords and danger. "Il Gomorrista" is a docu-fiction which aims to depict the world of non professional actors willing to star in a crime-drama show. These include people from any economic class and cultural level. They were invited to our casting, interviewed, and chosen for the fictional part of the movie, which was written and organized directly for them.
