Dear Group Members,

Antonella Spirito who's relatives are from SPA is producing a film on SPA during WWII as a graduate project. In addition to the funding provided by the London Film School, they are also seeking private donations of any amount. Project detail along with donation link is listed below. Great opportunity to spotlight SPA and our rich family heritage. Any donations will be much appreciated. Thank you.

About Antonella Spirito:

She’s 23, and, after studying in California and in London, she’s now graduating with a Master Degree at the London Film School. She has to deliver a graduation film, and she decided to write and direct a story set in San Pietro Avellana, during the WWII. Antonella and her producer have been in San Pietro recently, talking with people, choosing locations and organizing the shooting, and everybody was very cooperative and helpful. You can have more details here, in the Instagram page of the project: https://www.instagram.com/thehousethatstood_film/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

And here, see the video and the script: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-house-that-stood-a-short-historical-drama#/

The short movie will be filmed in October in San Pietro Avellana. Even though it is in association with the London Film School, that finances a part of the budget, Antonella needs to raise further funds. It would be fantastic if you could spread the voice among people that have memories of San Pietro and Molise, and that would like to help – even with a minimum amount – a young cultural enterprise!
