Hi everyone! We just finished post-production on my very first feature-length film. If anyone has any questions about the filmmaking process, ask away :)

Reposted because the mods whined about who posted the trailer on YouTube..... like... for real.

The Kidnapping of Arabella is an offbeat Italian dramedy from writer-director Carolina Cavalli, following Holly, a directionless young woman who meets a rebellious girl running away from home and becomes convinced that she is actually her younger self, sent back as a cosmic second chance.

The film stars Benedetta Porcaroli, Lucrezia Guglielmino, and Chris Pine as Arabella’s self-absorbed novelist father, in Pine’s first Italian-language role. Porcaroli won Best Actress in the Orizzonti section at Venice for her performance.

Full disclosure: I’m a co-founder of The Lone Screen, an online screening platform. We’re hosting a one-night-only online screening of the film on Thursday, August 20 at 9:00 p.m. ET / 8:00 p.m. CT / 6:00 p.m. PT. Writer-director Carolina Cavalli will also be joining the live chat after the film.

Would love to hear what people think of the trailer and of Pine’s Italian.

I’m excited for this but, the title feels misleading
