The Things I Can't Say

Growing up in Venice, Italy, Edoardo Novello has always been a great moviegoer, finding in his local movie theater the only escape from the daily routine and lonely childhood. Struck by “Screenplay” by Syd Field, he decided to pursue a BFA in Film Studies at the University of Bologna and later moved to America for an MFA in Film Production with Directing Emphasis at Chapman University, California. Through these learning years in Italy and America, Edoardo gradually realized why he loved films so deeply and why he wanted to be a director at all costs. Bazin, Deleuze, Epstein and all the other great thinkers of film art gave him a purpose as he comprehended that only by creating life in his films he could pay back the world for having given him his own life.

Over the years he developed a deep interest for human-centered stories. Working on award-winning documentaries and collaborating with medical institutions across the world. He has come to the understanding that only films that talk about truthful and grounded conflicts can stimulate us to think deeper and in a newer way about ourselves. To him, visual stories can reveal new aspects about ourselves and our lives by portraying on screen characters as complex as us.

Currently, Edoardo is working on a feature film about Benjamin. A 70-year-old man fearful of death who finds a way to relive his life once he discovers an alive newborn buried in the desert.
