PURE SHORES
A LOVE LETTER TO the summers of youth, set in a seaside town on the Italian Riviera, Luca takes the viewer to a beautiful holiday location infused with childhood nostalgia. There’s pasta, gelato, scooter rides and lots of jumping off cliffs into the murky green ocean below. Oh, and Luca and Alberto happen to be teenage sea monsters, so you know it’s going to get complicated…
Did you always want a fantastical element to this story?
When I develop things I always think about two elements: the fantastical and a lot of imagination, and then the heart of the story and more of a personal relationship or something that I experienced in my life. (2011), the short, it was very similar – I thought about my family. What felt different in this one is actually that there’s a third element, there’s personal, there’s the fantastical and now there’s actually a setting that’s real, but we want to make it our own and take you to Italy.
