About

We all have dreams. For some it is easier to achieve than others. Then we you add fate and events things become even more difficult, difficult as it was in 2011 for Eleonora. But the past is over and dreams are dreams, you know. What's stronger than a dream come true? To make the dream come true. This is our project: to transform the dream of Eleonora into reality.

this is the project Act! where i worked with Eleonora

Help Eleonora travel from Nettuno to Paris to attend the concert of The Pooh, her favorite band ever, at the Olympia. But since the other side of the dream is reality, we decided to use the opportunity of this trip to shoot a video, "The way to l'Olympia", of what it means to travel in Europe A.D. 2012 if, by chance, you are a disabled person.

A road movie that we intend to bring and present at all the movie festivals where talks about mobility, transport, tourism, travel are the subject.To tell, to understand, to engage, to amuse. To let people think. To promote change.

What are the funds for?

The funds will be used to:

pay travels and accomodations for Eleonora and her mother who always travels with her
cover the costs of logistics of the (small) crew and for the needed equipments to shoot and edit the documentary.
Build the project social network and digital presence

The movie will be overviewed by Marco Pozzi and shooted and directed by Claudia di Lascia, Michele Bizzi and Federico Monti, a fantastic independent videomaker crew who will give their time and skill to the project.

About the project owner

The main character here is Eleonora, her dream, her journey. I can only say I'm a dreamer (and I hope i'm not the only one). Then if you are asking why i'm doing it, well 'cause i love her since I met her.

Pls note: IBM as a brand has nothing to deal with this project.
This is me as a friend, as On Demand community member and as a dreamer.

PPS: don't say a word to Eleonora, this is a surprise

(now she knows :-)
