To my Pink Lady
Life does not always go as we may have planned or dreamed.
But sometimes, the human spirit will push back and challenge life’s limitations.
With a photograph created for her best friend Dakota, Cristina finds a way for their bond to transcend time and to be able to “grow old” together.

ALEXO WANDAEL is an Italian Director, based in Los Angeles and New York. Former Architect he has received numerous awards and accolades from several prominent International Magazines as Fine Art and Fashion Photographer and his work has been included in solo and group shows around the world. Drawn to narrative, he went to Afghanistan with the Italian Army to document the tragic jailing of Afghan women and children, and the training of Afghan women to become soldiers.
Alexo's aesthetics and visual storytelling extended to the direction of music videos and fashion commercials, debuting in 2019 with his short film “To my pink lady”.
This Pink Journey started on a beautiful morning of a NY fall day, and after 4 years it is still very much on going between dreams, chats, books, screenplays, ideas and this film in memory of my friend Cristina, an incredible Pink Lioness who fought breast cancer and leukemia with femininity, strength and dignity. It is one of the most meaningful projects I had the honor to create, that hopefully will create awareness around the world, and to quote Cristina: "Never give up and dance! We are all Stars shining in the sky”.
