Looking forward to working with our Italian counterparts in Aosta! Please follow and support if you can!

As we prepare for filming in Aosta, Italy, we received this expression of support from Assessore Samuele Tedesco (City Councilman): "I am especially thankful that you have chosen to share with us... The struggle to regain balance, to reconcile the different parts of oneself, and to reconnect with one's origins are very important themes today that are often overlooked in storytelling, without enough reflection on the true meaning of "family" and the concepts of belonging and roots."

Il Mio Posto a Tavola - My Place at the Table Very honored to help Santo tell this important story!

I get that It could appear that this film is a "vanity", or even a "woe, is me!" project. But, I passionately believe my story will resonate with others - adoptees and non-adoptees alike. I would love for you to read about my intentions for this project: https://loom.ly/7MDx8Mo

After Raffi (my flat-coated retriever) passed, I started to volunteer at the animal shelter. There's an uncanny connection connection that shelter dogs and many adoptees share - both want to find where they belong. Save your Seat and support our film: https://loom.ly/qC748qU
