“UNSCRIPTED” by Vittorio Bonaffini
In a world of polished backstage reels and picture-perfect film or fashion sets, do we ever really see the truth? Unscripted, directed by Vittorio Bonaffini, pulls back the curtain on a film production that promises big dreams but delivers quiet fractures.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
“Unscripted is both a grotesque and intimate look at the messy beauty of making films. Too often we only see the polished surface of a short or a commercial, without ever glimpsing what truly happens behind the scenes.
I call it a meta film because it was born out of a very real challenge: being asked to write a short in a very short time, to shoot in Los Angeles, with a minimal budget and the “ordinary” disorganization that inevitably surfaces when there’s little time to produce, think creatively, and properly brief actors and crew. For this reason, I chose to film in a rough, gritty way, capturing the process itself as part of the story.
Above all, this film exists thanks to the real crew. My deepest gratitude goes to them—for their work, their spirit, and their belief in this project.”
-Vittorio Bonaffini
