NY1 BEHIND THE SCENES INTERVIEW

FULL ARTICLE TRANSLATION:

Kathrina Miccio. From the peninsula to LAS Vegas
The award-winning Vicana actress IN AMERICA
“After the success of the short film St. Joseph, a film in Vico Equense”
Kathrina has a (semi) American name, but the heart is Italian.
His father Vincenzo left his beloved Vico Equense to crown his dream of love in the new continent.
Her daughter was born there, but while living in New York, she heard of a Vicana doc.
Here, she has a house, but mostly her roots. Italianity is one of the distinguishing traits of her art, or rather, of her arts.
Because she has tried different roles and has been able to cover them all successfully.
Kathrina is a writer, actress, director and producer.
The short film “St. Joseph”, which tells of two Italian families, in a suburbs of New Jersey, has consecrated it on the scene of the international comedy.
This year she was awarded the prestigious First Woman of film Award for Action on film Megafest 2018, in Las Vegas. In 2017, her St. Joseph won the Best Comedy Short Award at the Hollywood International Moving pictures Film Festival. At the Mediterranean Film Festival in Syracuse won the title of Best director and was selected for the categories Best Short film and special effects. At the Red Corner Film Festival in Malta She triumphed for the best cast and had the nomination for the best short. Finally, at Rome Cinema Doc, she was awarded the best short film.

Now, however, this success wants to put it in the service of a new project, in which Vico Equense is the protagonist.
The plot is already there and the shootings will be made in
NY, and the surroundings of Vico.
Because, as Kathrina wrote in Fb, posting a selfie in Vico: “I love staying in Vico Equense. It has my heart. “

Donna’s house is immaculately kept inside and out. Elaine and Doug are more interested in going camping then caring about the appearance of their house.
