I worked with an intimacy coordinator on this new project and she was so amazing. She wasn’t policing anything, she wasn’t interested in that. She was more like part-sexual therapist, just providing an atmosphere on set that is conducive to sexuality, where everyone is comfortable.

Where: London

Production: Erika Lust Cinema

Sito ufficiale

For the production of The Listener, I was responsible for writing, directing and managing the realisation of the intimate scenes. I created and managed the choreography of the intimate scenes in collaboration with the assistant director and the intimacy coordinator. The feature film contains nudity, simulated and unsimulated masturbation, sex and violent scenes such as murder.

I also edited the film, producing two versions, explicit and soft, and employed remote directing for some scenes.

THE FILM

The Listener, written and directed by Lidia Ravviso, is a sexy and mysterious coming-of-age film that is part comedy, part thriller. It follows the adventures of a young writer, Nora (Maisy Taylor), struggling with her superpowers. Every time she masturbates, the protagonist can hear the sounds through the walls of her home in Central London, a luxurious Victorian mansion inherited from a wealthy aunt.

Nora maliciously and secretly enters her neighbours’ private lives. Suddenly, a mysterious murder turns the residents’ lives upside down, and that’s when Nora, with the help of an attractive detective, uses her powers to help find the killer.
The Listener is a quirky and delightfully funny film with the visual imagination of Amelie and a meticulously detailed and colourful set reminiscent of Wes Anderson.

The film was produced by award-winning feminist erotica producer Erika Lust.

La fantasia di Beba

Beba's fantasy

Role: Writer, film director, direction of intimate scenes

Date of production: 2019

Where: Rome

Production XConfessions/Erika Lust

Sito ufficiale

For the production of the short film La Fantasia di Beba (Beba’s Fantasy), I was responsible for writing, directing, editing the movie and choreographing the intimate scenes. The film is inspired by a story written by Agnese Trocchi and contains explicit scenes.
I worked with my assistant director and producer to manage on-set consent practices and health & safety guidelines.

THE FILM

The film Beba’s Fantasy was shot between Rome and Ostia and is visually inspired by Italian erotic cinema of the 1970s and 1980s, particularly Tinto Brass’ filmography, reinterpreted from a female gaze perspective.

Beba’s fantasy is a story that revolves around a controversial female erotic fantasy: being paid for sex. In this regard, who doesn’t think of Luis Buñuel’s film Belle du Jour? But unlike Severine, the film’s protagonist – an upper-class woman who prostitutes herself in an exclusive brothel – our Beba has no boredom to fight or trauma to exorcise. Beba is curious and irreverent, and she puts her fantasy into action by “wearing” it in her red shoes, shuffling the cards of the victim and the executioner.
She is aware of facing a potentially dangerous and degrading experience, but she turns it in her favour, controls it and neutralises it.

In the background, there is Ostia. uthentic and wild, like the one represented by Pier Paolo Pasolini in the mid-70s or by Claudio Caligari in his feature Toxic Love – Beba eating ice cream at the end of her adventure is a tribute to his iconic movie.

The film was produced by award-winning feminist erotica producer Erika Lust.
