Interview with Filmmaker Daniele Bonarini (LIKE A STAR)

Daniele Bonarini’s short film, LIKE A STAR, played to rave reviews at the May 2016 Documentary Short Film Festival. 

Interview with Daniele Bonarini:

Matthew Toffolo: What motivated you to make this film?

Daniele Bonarini: For many years, i work primarily with people with physical and intellectual disabilities. I grew a lot as a director and film-maker and I was able, with my works, to enter the international film festival circuit. Attend a film festival no about disability, was a great achievement because I could bring Tiziano in a neutral context, and especially him to live an incredible experience like a trip in America. For this reason I decided to make a documentary of his journey, it is part of an experience that lasts for many years

MT: From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?

DB: Our projects are very long…
