CHIARA BELLESIA (18) “Hi Ado! I wanted to thank you and Leonardo Kurtz for last year’s wonderful experience! I submitted the short film TRIP that we realised during the workshop “How to make a short film” to the University of Westminster in London and now I’m in!” Reggio Film Festival 2016
BETTINA ZIRONI (22) I participated, and thanks to the teachings of Ado, a director graduated from the National Film School Centro Sperimentale di Roma, we went through all the stages of creating a short film. I was able to witness the management of a film set and understand the level of professionalism and attention to relationships it requires. After the workshop, I immediately decided to enroll in a Videomaker workshop and continue this journey. Reggio Film Festival 2018
IDEO GROSSI (66) After taking your course, I created the short film ‘Risorse Umane,’ involving two other course participants as actors and director of photography. Without that course, I would never have been able to make it. The short film won the Gratteri 2018 award, was a finalist at the Lunigiana Film Festival 2018, and made it to the finals at the Cefalù Film Festival 2018. I have just finished my second short film, ‘Cercando Kulvir. Reggio Film Festival 2017








VITTORIA GNISCI (16) It has been an enjoyable experience that has taught me a lot, to be approached with curiosity and a desire to create. I discovered the world behind each camera and had the opportunity to work with professionals, all competent and approachable, as well as with peers like myself! Thanks to this experience, a new door is now open before me… Tuscia Film Fest 2023
FRANCO GIBELLINI (70) I have a wonderful memory of the filmmaking workshop that resulted in the short film “Pandemia Time.” Despite the myriad challenges posed by COVID, we managed, thanks to the director Ado Hasanovic, to bring together a group of individuals who, with friendship, enthusiasm, and a lot of fun, created a remarkable piece of work.

VITTORIA CAPORALI (17) In three days, my idea became a real film. From script to casting to shooting. I learned how to work with strangers. How to listen. How to solve problems together. Working behind the camera with Ado Hasanović was special. I observed closely how a director works. I also learned a lot about myself. A unique experience. One I will always carry with me.
