The Conspiracy Theorist
The Conspiracy Theorist is a narrative short film about Mirko, a no-vax, flat earther, right-wing young man who lives alone in the suburb of Milan, Italy. He will experience the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the lockdown will force him to change his view on reality and on his own political beliefs.

Lorenzo is a filmmaker and photographer with experience as assistant director, he has often held this role in various short films. In 2020 he directed the short film "ANGST" which came in second place at the Lift Off Film Festival in LA. In the same year he became a photojournalist for Stampa Alternativa, an Italian press agency.
We are faced with a story with a classic three-act structure and for the protagonist it is a real epic and crazy journey. The story is comical and grotesque. In the short film, shots of everyday spaces and realities follow one another, as well as experiments where reality is deconstructed and rearranged, forming supernatural and dreamlike images. I think that we have a lot in common with Mirko, obviously he is an exaggerated character, but we share a lot of things with him. We each have our own way to understand the world and things that happen around us. We are small conspiracy theorist ourselves.
