1.
usual questions: Who is Lorenzo Lombardi?
Good question! Lorenzo Lombardi is an eternal dreamer, maybe this is the best definition. I'm a guy who is curious about many things, I look at everything with special attention and try to store colors, shapes and styles. All of this then keep it until I need to get some of my film or project. I am a normal guy, like many, but certainly gives value to things that others do not consider. This is due, say, the professional bias, so if you can call.
I like to give a vision of what I see through the movies, because I think it is art that best suits me, because it encompasses other arts to its Internal: literature, poetry, painting, photography, theater, music ... 2. In that occasion, for the first time you approached the camera to shoot your first film?
I approached the cinema very soon. As a child I enjoyed a lot to be resumed, until the age of eleven, I picked up the camera of my father, and instead of standing before I switched back. It was I who was recording the family vacations, holidays, etc.. A few years later, in Italy, a depopulated among young American TV series called "Dawson's Creek" (still to be aired reruns), I always watched. The main character Dawson Leery had a dream to become a director said. Let's say that I have embodied much! From then on I started with my friends to shoot short films, especially horror and historical, but also social spot, right up to the film: LIFE'S BUT, my first feature film, to IN THE MARKET.

3. From what take inspiration to create your works? You rely on some novel in particular, or inspire you to news stories, or let me be your fantasy to lay the foundations for a new movie? Woody Allen once said that writing down every thing that comes to mind in any media, leaflets, newspaper clippings, boxes of matches and then puts everything in a drawer. Opens at the right time and start putting together a story. I can say that I too have started using this technique, a sort of "box Godard" and I really like, because the creative phase is like a big puzzle, where you say: - That's OK, no, we would I would like to draw something else ... However, often inspired by feelings of unusual ideas, which may be resulted from the simple living, a news or read a sentence in a novel. Until now, the films I made, were born from productive projects of particular interest, ie stories that fascinated me, but which could especially be made, productively speaking, pretty easily, and then with a shoestring budget. I speak like this, because until now I have always found to deal with the same production that has been edited by me together with my collaborators WHITEROSEprd.
4.
Which director do you think has influenced you to pursue this further your career?
The director who most influenced me is certainly Quentin Tarantino, a director who, in turn, is always influenced and citations. It's strange, because if I mention my work in a Tarantino, it's as if even unconsciously citassi Sergio Leone, Martin Scorsese, Brian De Palma, George A. Romero, or David Lynch, just to name a few. I love Tarantino, because in its shots, style, way of writing, I find a perfection that no other directors. An original way to conceive of a situation. I love Kill Bill. Every frame of that film is like a painting. Splashes of color, symmetry, taste of the frame. Everything is in the right place at the right time. Tarantino I really like because it is not only a director but also a wonderful writer. The directors I like, are often authors in the round. 5.
What could you tell us about your filmography? Would you like to talk about some work for you dear?
I have a collection of DVDs that I care very much. Over the years I've bought movies past that have left their mark on me and today, during the year I buy three or four recent films that really fascinated me. Among the latest I bought Pride and Prejudice and Atonement, both of Joe Wright, Children of Men Alfonso Cuaron, My Blueberry Nights by Wong Kar Wai and Matt Reeves Cloverfield, but produced by the creative genius JJ Abrams. Instead works of the past that are dear to me for some reason, are: Citizen Kane, Orson Welles, SHINING and EYES WIDE SHUT by Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch MULHOLLAND DRIVE, 8 ½ by Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni and PROFESSION REPORTER Breathless by Jean Luc Godard. giving of reasons: Welles I like the depth field and the ellipses of time, Kubrick for color, symmetry and poetry, Lynch for the excitement and the thin line between dream and reality, Fellini directing the actors and the unforgettable shots, Antonioni plans to sequence ( im) possible, for Godard's extreme "jump-cut" and the truth of his pictures.
6.
Now we come to your last film "In the market", a film that has had enormous success well winning five awards. What can you say about this your film? Did you expect such a consensus from the public and the critics? The consensus is something that is always looking, but not always found. In the case of Darkness Film Festival 2009 has arrived. We have received no less than 5 awards including Best Film, Best Actor "Marco Martini," Best Actress "Elisa Sensi, Best Special Effects" Sergio Boots "and Special Mention for the Interpretation" Ottaviano Blitch. I never expected such a consensus. Let's say the best film I dreamed it, but I never thought of it in his hands. It was a great thrill and a nice reward for the work given to this film.
IN THE MARKET me busy for two years, from script to post production. Fortunately, behind me and prepared a consolidated staff of technicians (and friends) who helped me at every stage. So I want to use this application also to thank everyone, but especially two people who have supported me always: Eleanor Stagi, N. Amanda Saints.
IN THE MARKET is a gamble, the desire to make a film that would attract attention and curiosity, without being a movie with themes of adolescence, but perhaps gender. A film that could make use of a full-HD and 5.1 sound with original music. A film "cooked and eaten" that had to have a strong unity of space, time and place, to mention Tarantino, who was to tell a story told in "From Dusk Till Dawn." A low-budget film but very important quality that boasts collaborations, including that of international master of special effects Sergio boots and that of Ottaviano Blitch (ITALIANS and SHADOW) actor of exceptional talent who has played as only he could do, the bad guy.
7. To make the film "In the market," you have used the presence of a sacred monster of Italian horror cinema, to achieve the special effects make-up, namely Sergio boots. What can you tell us that your experience working with the Master Boots?
Sergio boots for me was really a "sacred monster" unattainable. We met at a festival and I talked about my project. He was hit right away and gave me an appointment to Rome to speak better. We were undecided
whether to begin shooting in July 2008 or wait until September, but when Sergio gave his approval in July, we immediately set in motion the machinery IN THE MARKET.
day meeting in Rome, I opened the door of his immense laboratory and I was like a child who enters for the first time at the amusement park. There was everything, giant crocodiles, demons de Dario Argento's THE THIRD MOTHER, limbs of mutilated bodies here and there, casts, prosthetics, silicone and plaster. Honestly I was very tense and I had to convince Sergio boots to achieve the special effects of my film and then, I saw many things that I do not remember ... I remember most about him listening to what I said in question on the film and its advice on the effects of preparatory sketches. I still do not believe what has happened, the fact that he has worked on the film, which has come on set and who has worked with us for hours. It was very beautiful, unforgettable.
8. you tell us some anecdote that has to do with your last film?
Yes, I can tell Ottaviano Blitch. You should know that Octavian is an actor who believes in his work and he uses techniques impesonificazione very strong. During the filming of the movie was not Ottaviano Ottaviano, but Adam. For the entire time of the shooting in the Market, he was all for "the Butcher" has never been out of character, so much so that actresses of the film the girls were really terrified of him. They were afraid to walk unaccompanied in the dark near the supermarket shelves. Ottaviano was so believable that even after the stop for him the scene did not end. One evening, Elisa Sensi and Eleanor Stagi walked alone in the Market and at one point came out from the shelves "Adam - the Butcher" after all bloody slaughtered one of his victims. We heard their screams out to the supermarket! I would venture to say that Adam
Ottaviano Blitch was a little 'Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrence or The Joker by Heath Ledger. Once you step into the role of a character so well, then it is hard to stop!
9. Have you experienced any particular problems in the execution of some scenes during the filming?
Unfortunately yes! These are the questions you would like to answer: - No, everything went smoothly!
When shooting in camera-car of the three protagonists of the jeep, the first two days of shooting, we encountered some problems. During the first take of the camera-car, no truck with the actress who was driving the jeep while reciting seriously, the operator and the three actors have really risked his life to the first corner. For the little jeep overturns and the operator was in danger of being caught between a jeep and pick-up of the director who was traveling in front. We immediately interrupted filming in-car camera shots and made fixed to the ground. The second day was something like that and I honestly wanted to conclude the shooting and did not run more IN THE MARKET. Fortunately, the production was able to find at the last minute hitch with a truck and a car to make the camera-car with the jeep on the cart. The third day we started shooting real well and we have recovered slightly in the days lost.
10. Probing your personal tastes you wonder what are your favorite authors and novels, and what are your favorite films and directors.
The authors prefer that there exist Alessandro Baricco, and I really like his writing and describes how certain moods and emotions. It is very visual in telling his novels, perhaps it's also why I respect him a lot. I also read Paulo Coelho, one of the authors of the past, William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Virginia Woolf.
While among the directors and films are my favorite Mission: Impossible 2 by John Woo, and SCREAM 2 SCREAM 3 Wes Craven, James Cameron's TERMINATOR 2, MILL ROUGE! Buz Luhrmann, Michael Mann's COLLATERAL, PUSH and Slevin Paul McGuigan and as I said in previous answers, including the works of director Joe Wright and Alfonso Cuaron. Logically I can not forget about Quentin Tarantino with special attention to KILL BILL, PULP FICTION, Inglourious Basterds.
11. Last question: future plans? This is also a good question! In the past I used to put more meat to the fire now. Before you finish a film, I was already anticipating future projects. Now, honestly, I prefer to do one step at a time. I do not exclude that in my mind there are already tantalizing ideas to implement, but I have not yet assessed the feasibility of production or the best way to achieve them. It is certain that I would make something up in sequence, perhaps with a hand-held camera, be it a horror movie or a drama. What will be will be, but it sure will be very special!
