'Cannoli'

Augustleofilm Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Casting a short film. In a quiet Italian village, "Cannoli," unfolds with an intimate yet darkly comedic exploration of human desire, routine, and indulgence. The story follows Carlo, a young man preoccupied with a secret obsession, and his mother, Mama, who luxuriates in her own indulgences—food, cigarettes, and the slow, sensual rhythm of her bath. As their interactions play out in a delicate yet unsettling harmony, the tension builds in a carefully orchestrated sequence of parallel actions. With a masterful use of subtle innuendo and visual metaphor, the climax aligns with the dramatic crescendo of a soccer match, culminating in a moment that is as absurd as it is inevitable.
