Well, this is a short movie I did a year ago. It has won 5 prizes around the world so far, ranging from Best Short Movie, to Best Photography, Best SFX and Best Sound (I did personally all the sound duties, from sound design to editing and mixing).

It's a horror movie and has received blessings from some horror personalities:


"Emiliano Ranzani's Langliena is the creepiest,
most disturbing short movie I have seen this year.
It's a modern take on classic 1980s blood'n'guts Italian
horror which evokes the spirit of Fulci and Lamberto Bava.
Ranzani is a young talent to watch.”
Philip Nutman
award-nominated author of Wet Work
and co-screenwriter of Jack Ketchum’s The Girl Next Door


"Langliena is a lapidary gem of horror,
exquisitely refined, perfectly cut and polished.
It had me on the edge of my seat, nerves tingling,
from beginning to end.
Emiliano Ranzani is a fresh new talent"
Douglas Preston
Author of RELIC


“visually striking and conveying a sense of unease”
Ramsey Campbell
described by The Oxford Companion to English Literature as "Britain's most respected living horror writer"


"An impressive debut,
Emiliano Ranzani is definitely someone to keep an eye on."
Stuart Gordon
director of Re-Animator and From Beyond


"a Lovecraft homage with bite"
Richard Stanley
director of Hardware and Dust Devil
co-screenwriter of The Abandoned and Imago Mortis


“a finely crafted slice of dread”
Ted Nicolaou
director of Terror Vision and Subspecies

Here's a small trailer:

I am ashamed to post about it here, as it was shot with a humble CANON XL2 (with two lenses: the standard zoom lens and the wide angle from the XL series - good pieces of glass but impossible to focus when doing elaborate shots). At that time, there were no RedOnes in my area, and I am afraid our small budget (plus my tech knowledges - I am mainly an industrial\corporate-and-so-on shooter after all, I worked on a movie set only once and I just started doing some commercials and music videos) wouldn't have allowed it anyways. Not to mention the heat-related issues and the weight of the camera, since we shot in a steamy-hot, small and cramped environment, with meat hooks and flies all around us.
