Experiencing Interruptions?

Judge

Gianni, an eccentric Italian-American, is forced to hide out in a luxurious villa on Lake Como, Italy. He hosts a card game in the villa with a group of suspicious personalities and his old apprentice, Tim. The game turns sour when it is interrupted by an Interpol raid. However, neither the officers nor Gianni and his friends are what they seem. The director (Nicolo Pozzali) is 21 years old.

Director Statement

JUDGE is very special to me not only because it is my first project but it was also filmed in my grandmothers home in Italy. The story is heavily inspired by games I would play using my imagination in that house. Cops and robbers, manhunt, etc... Thank you for taking the time to view this short and I hope you enjoy!
