“The first film made in true Sicilian dialect!”
Two Siclian Americans, One Milwaukee Boy and one Florentine
Script, Shoot and Edit in 30 Days
Universally scorned, parasites get a bold and outrageous new look. As, perhaps, the best form of symbiosis.
Black Boot Beach loves to pretend it is a democracy...but that's not quite true. Most scenes are directed and scripted by Boogie, Arthur and Vinnie. Though remember, the scripting is based on what the actors themselves were probably saying the night before when they were drunk. That said, here's a brief intro to our behind the camera members.

Alessio Giottoli Co-Director - Editor - Writer
Carpenter. Family man. Owner of Nuova Rali Building Supplies. Drummer. Philosopher. Also runs one of the most beautiful places in the world (monestevole).
Everyone cleaned toilets, held the boom, rolled camera and acted. Period. Andrea just acted a little more than the others
12 folks, 2 bedrooms!
Andrea made coffee. Micaela cooked. Alessio wrestled chickens cooked. Jim Reed managed gear. Cecile painted and sewed. James cleaned a lot of toilets. Nucio did almost all the dishes (as well as almost all the lunchtime pastas) as well as became defacto driver for all local celebrities. Cesare danced and laughed and cooked and made even more coffee than Andrea...‘hai messo sale?’
