As a short film producer, when you start with such a gigantic project as an international feature film, you can only do one thing and that is to think like Pipi Longstocking: ‘I’ve never done it before, so I think I can do it. ‘
The kick-off event of our feature film ‘cooking up a country – the movie’ was a fantastic event where the entire village of the Principality of Principato di Seborga came together to welcome the delegation of high-ranking film guests, including the producer of ‘the King’s speech’ Mark Foligno, Vice President International Business at Huanxi media Honglin Jia, CEO Filmmore Remco Mastwijk, Head of Production of the Ligurian Film Commission Roberto lo crasto and Italian producer Angelo Bassi, to welcome them to beautiful Liguria and to show them and taste what will be the setting of our film
It all started with the book of the writer James Vasey – author of The Seborga Trilogy who inspired us to film his story ‘Cooking up a country’. With a great team of extraordinary people we have shown what a small village can be good at and that the story of Seborga is a story that the entire world must see. We are entering the next phase with the commitments made by our guests so stay tuned at www.cookingupacountrythemovie.com
A special thank you to the Royal guards of Seborga, the Templars and of course Her Serene Highness princess Nina Menegatto who fully supports this project.
