Director Statement

Para.Noia was a challenge. The idea was conceived in an extremely difficult time for everyone, a time where you couldn't meet in person let alone organize a full functioning set. But we didn't gave up and we started to write, in a Skype call, a story that reflected our current situation and form where we could look at the future. The only way to produce the story was by keeping it completely online, in the same place where it was written: inside Skype.
