Brian Mazzarello |
|
Auguri to NIAF Business Member Brian Mazzarello on his new comedy short film, Make Me Italian, which is about an American man's amusing and fantastical quest to become an Italian citizen. David Mangano has all the paperwork in order, so how hard can it be? At the Italian consulate he tackles a countless number of obstacles, tests and adventures to prove his Italianness, but a surprise hidden in the consulate changes the course of everything.
