THE DUCHESS played to rave reviews at the February 2019 Experimental Film Festival in Los Angeles.
Matthew Toffolo: What motivated you to make this film?
Marco De Ornellas: Every story comes from a different inspiration. This film was born after I did a photoshoot for a brand at a bar in Harlem, NY. The bar had an energy about it that reminded me of the hotel in the movie “The Shinning”. At that moment on I could see the movie in my mind. And if you’re wondering, yes, its the bar in the actual movie.
2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this short?
Production took about a month. I worked with a great team that helped me to speed things and bring my idea to reality.
