Over the past decade, producer Lorenzo Mieli has been a key player in the evolution of Italy's serial landscape and its emergence on the international scene. Working hand in hand with leading film directors, whom he encourages to experiment with new narrative forms via the series, he has given birth to series such as Paolo Sorrentino's The Young Pope and The New Pope, Saverio Costanzo's L'amie prodigieuse (adapted from Elena Ferrante's bestseller), Niccolò Ammaniti's Il Miracolo and, more recently, Luca Guadagnino's We Are Who We Are. A few months after founding his new company The Apartment (a Fremantle Company), he looks back on his career and shares his vision of creation in this conversation with journalist Nick Vivarelli.
Lorenzo's talk covers 4 main topics:
- "Becoming a producer": until 22:02
- Discussion of The Young Pope and L'amie prodigieuse: between 22:02 and 41:00
- Discussion about We are who we are: between 41:00 and 51:16
- The Apartment Pictures company: from 51:16
