Waiting for the release of the film in 2023, we asked some questions about the film to Eric Veneziano.
How did the idea for the film come about?
The idea was born from a story, a life experience of a person dear to me.
Obviously, we made the story more cinematic, incorporating things that I experienced firsthand.
I think the best thing for a director is to turn feelings like anger, pain or joy into art and describe them through a story.
How did you find out Christian Cordone?
I follow the world of social media a lot, in the last two years I’ve been working in the management of talents and creators. If I notice talent and determination in a boy, through my collaborators we try to train him on the dramatic arts, expanding his knowledge and skills and bringing him to work in the world of cinema.When I met Christian, he was only 16 years old, his talent was admirable but he didn’t have a solid base of studies to work in the world of cinema.
I started a journey with him made of cinematography, audiovisual language and acting.
Within ten months he won 2 awards, including “best supporting actor” at the festival “Rome International film Award”
Can you give us some more information about the plot of “Blu come i tuoi occhi”?

He witnessed the death of his father, and due to this he is estranged from social life, always staying at home watching movies, and dealing with loneliness.
