Prove di Amore (Proofs of Love)
11 characters (10 women, one man) do conjectures and hypotheses on Love. There's a voice who corrects them, (a first metaphor...Impossible to define "Love"). All female characters have faces with paint on (second metaphor: once you taste Love, you change the appearance) except for the male character, who will have a gradual and substantial change during the course. Up to a logical, unexpected, desirable, revealing and decisive epilogue.
"What is Love?" You will know.

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", "Still Alive".
"All the texts and dialogues in this film are taken from my book "Illustraphorisms". In this short film I wanted to test both professional and non-professional actresses. I haven't given any script or lyrics to any of them before. I wanted to grasp the expressive result of their improvisation, under my delirately, vague, and imprecise instructions. We all had fun".
