Fortunato Staglianò and Francesco Teramo will begin filming "Bang Bang Baby" in a few days
The Calabria Acting School, created and directed by Walter Cordopatri, continues to churn out talent. After Alessia Foti, MasterClass student, cast for a part in the film "The Beautiful Years" by Lorenzo D'Amico Carvalho, alongside Ninni Bruschetta and Maria Grazia Cucinotta, it is the turn of two Lab students, Fortunato Staglianò And Francesco Teramo, who will be part of the cast of “Bang Bang Baby”, the first Italian fiction branded Amazon Prime Original. Fortunato, 12 years old, from Vibo Valentia, and Francesco, 8 years old, from Cittanova, who respectively attend the third year of the Junior class and the second of the Child class, will begin filming in these days.
“Bang Bang Baby”, created by Andrea Di Stefano and produced by The Apartment And Wildside, part of Fremantle, for the Amazon Studios, is a crime film inspired by a true story which, set in the world of the Calabrian mafia against the backdrop of Milan in the 1980s, tells the story of Alice – played by Arianna Becheroni – a shy and insecure teenager who becomes the youngest member of a mafia organization, only to win the love of her father, who she discovered is a boss of the 'Ndrangheta.
In “Bang Bang Baby” the two students of the Calabria Acting School will play two little brothers, cousins of the protagonist. A new important achievement that adds to the list of successes achieved over the years by the SRC, which boasts the educational coordination of Giorgio Colangeli, the patronage of the municipality of Cittanova and the official collaboration with the Giffoni Film Festival. With its educational courses, a laboratory one (the one from which Fortunato Staglianò and Francesco Teramo come) and an academic one, a unique training offer in Italy, the Calabria Acting School manages every year to prepare young people of all age groups, who are selected, as in the latter cases, through official auditions for cinematographic films, TV series and prestigious fiction.
