Director Statement
As an Italian-American I grew up on all the classic mob movies like GOODFELLAS, THE GODFATHER and THE KING OF NEW YORK. These films hold a special place in my heart, it’s long been a goal of mine to tackle a film in this genre.
‘In the Valley of the Moon’ simply put if my love letter to the 70’s. I’ve always been fascinated by the timeless music, beautiful cars, and bold fashion choices of the time. I wanted to pay homage by replicating the visual aesthetic of the very things that inspired me to become a filmmaker.
I wanted to create unique characters with complex backstories that breathe life and transcend the screen. The cast crew and I worked tirelessly to make something special that hopefully anyone can enjoy. If you have a chance to watch the film I want to give my humble thanks for your time.
Best,
– Luca Pizzoleo
