CRAZY LOVE
Casting Director
Crazy Love tells the story of a fatal amour fou set in Vienna at the turn of the 19th century: a fateful love triangle involving loyalty, submission, boldness and obsession. Faced with the intoxication of the fin de siècle and the social and artistic background of the dawning Modern Age, the friendship between the controversial composer Arnold Schoenberg and the young, genius painter Richard Gerstl turns into a power struggle revolving around Schoenberg’s sensuous wife, Mathilde.

EDWARD ENDERBY
Casting Italy
Inspired by real people and events and based on the novel by renowned Military Historian James Holland A Pair of Silver Wings, the story follows a young Spitfire pilot: the titular character, Edward Enderby, soars over the skies of England in 1941, through the dark days of the Siege of Malta to the bitter partisan struggle in Italy. Our film is set in two time-frames, that of the Second World War and events in 1995 during the 50th anniversary of the end of the War. At its heart are the great losses he suffers. Despite being an emotional roller-coaster we leave him and our audience with a sense of hope for the future, and that despite great loss, he is, finally, able to move his life forward.
