“Marcello Marcello” is the fourth feature film by writer/director Denis Rabaglia. He adapted the Mark David Hatwood novel “Marcello’s Date” for this big-screen version.
“I go to the movies in order to be told stories, and I make movies to tell stories,” said Rabaglia. “When the story of Marcello entered my world, I saw it as a chance to tell a timeless tale, deeply rooted in old, ancestral storytelling. But don’t get me wrong: beautiful tales are always contemporary.”
“This one tells us how an enchanting world can hide a society full of secrets, and how we are often incapable of overcoming our little pathetic quarrels. But like all the good tales, it carries hope for a better world. The story of Marcello came to me as a gift and I offer that gift back to you in return.”
The title sponsors for the event are the Jerome Chamber of Commerce and the Jerome Art Walk. The supporting sponsor is Vora Financial. The series is also made possible by a grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts and National Endowment for the Arts and the City of Sedona.
