Moresco, also the author of cult films such as ‘Crash’, and ‘Million Dollar Baby’, has been very attached to Capri, Hollywood, for years, “just think – recalls Pascal Vicedomini, founder and producer of the kermesse that as a tradition brings stars and the big international film industry to the Bay of Naples in the heart of winter, – that it was at our festival that Moresco met Iervolino and Monica Bacardi (ILBE) who proposed him ‘Bent’ and then a film about Lamborghini, in America as famous as Ferrari. Moreover, Edwige, who has been a supporter of the festival from the very beginning along with personalities such as Lina Wertmuller and Gillo Pontecorvo, will create a pair of ‘hosts’ truly in love with the island and ready to welcome a partner that already promises to be of great interest, committed to supporting the well-deserved Oscar nomination for Matteo Garrone’s ‘Io capitano’.

“Moresco picks up the chairman’s testimonial from cult director Terry Gilliam, who remains on the Capri Institute team with Tony Renis (honorary chairperson), Noa (honorary chairwoman), filmmakers Michael Radford, Shekhar Kapur, Mimmo Calopresti, Enrico Vanzina, and Oscar winners Alessandro Bertolazzi and Gianni Quaranta.

Bobby Moresco e Tony Renis premiano l’attore inaugurando la stagione di Capri Hollywood
ROMA, 24 ottobre – L’attore Frank Grillo e’ l’Artista Italo-americano dell’anno per il festival “Capri Hollywood” che lo ha premiato
a Roma nel classico Gala d’autunno con cui si inaugura la stagione della kermesse cinematografica sull’Isola azzurra in programma dal 27 dicembre.
Ad accogliere l’artista, e campione di arti marziali di origini calabresi e napoletane, insieme al produttore Pascal Vicedomini, c’erano due icone dei talenti d’oltreoceano originari della Penisola: il regista Bobby Moresco (premio Oscar per Crash) e il popolarissimo produttore musicale Tony Renis, presidente onorario del Festival internazionale giunto alla 27esima edizione.
“Dedico il Capri Award ai miei nonni, emigranti negli USA all’inizio del secolo scorso. Italiani convinti che, sin da bambino, mi hanno trasmesso il convinto amore per il nostro Paese malgrado costretti ad emigrare in cerca di fortuna. Sono felicissimo per questo premio perché Io mi sento italiano al 100% e non Italo-americano” ha detto Frank Grillo ritirando la Sirena caprese (creata da Lellò Esposito e già assegnata a tanti big di Hollywood). Un momento di gioia che Frank ha condiviso col figlio giunto nella Capitale, da un set a Portorico. per partecipare all’anteprima mondiale del film “Lamborghini-The Man Behind the Legend“. Un lavoro che virtualmente lo lancia nell’Olimpo dei grandi di Hollywood. Motivo per il quale Grillo ha espresso pubblica gratitudine ai produttori Andrea Iervolino e Lady Monika Bacardi che lo hanno fortemente voluto nel ruolo del leggendario fondatore della casa automobilistica emiliana, nata sulla scia dei precedenti successi nella fabbricazione di trattori.
Ed al “Capri Gala a Roma” ospitato dall’hotel De Russie, sono intervenuti anche diversi amici e colleghi di Grillo sul set di “Lamborghini” come gli attori Giovanni Antonacci, Ema Kovac, Luca Riemma, Antonella Salvucci e Clementino. Il rapper-attore che nel clou dell’evento non ha esitato ad esibirsi in estemporanei freestyle accompagnato dagli amici musicisti Marcello Cirillo, Erminio Sinni e Davide Palma. C’erano poi Cristiano de Andrè, Cecilia Dazzi, Martina di Fonte, Rossella Rimano, la giovane Etoile Lavinia Comelli, i Casting Director Teresa Razzauti, Armando Pizzuti e Barbara Giordani, i produttori Roberto Cipullo, Silvio Muraglia e Andrea Zoso, il d.g. contenuti di Mediaset Alessandro Salem.
