Bryan & Stephanie Mazzarello, Filmmaker, “Make Me Italian‪”‬ Deborah Kobylt LIVE

Please welcome to our show, Bryan and Stephanie Mazzarello, creators of their
brilliant short film, “Make Me Italian,” which follows the story of an Italian-American
man attempting to prove his Italian citizenship through ancestry so he can attain an
Italian passport.
The story is loosely based on Bryan’s experience of getting his Italian passport, and it’s
quite a story. We talk with Bryan about that, and also how he was motivated to do this
after a backpacking trip through Europe landed on the very soil where his
grandparents lived. Let’s just say he felt the calling. Stephanie was the creative
director on the film, and this is so beautifully shot and choreographed, we discuss that
with her as well.
