The Italian Goonie (English page)

Goon Docks 20 years later

In October 2004 I went to Oregon alone(for the second time) where I shot a short movie. I stayed at Astoria and Cannon Beach one week and It was an hard job to do all by myself. The name of this short movie is "The Italian Goonie".It's a very different kind of movie from my 1st I made there in 1998. That was only a nostalgic movie with a few original location. The new one is very better than the first.

I tried to make a true movie with a very very easy plot (did I say easy?), a main actor (me...but I understood that I wasn't born to be an actor!!!), some appearances like Sandi Preston (The Goonies House's owner) and Mickey Cox (The Astoria Inn B. & B.'s Innkeeper) and a good editing(maybe). The weather wasn't nice with me and it was very hard especially at Cannon Beach and Ecola State Park. Sometimes it was sunny and after 5 minutes it was cloudy and windy and than rainy and again sunny...

However I finished my movie in April 2005 and I had the premiere at my house with some friends. The movie is about 25'. It's half in Italian, with subtitles in English, and half in English...with my terrible English...eh eh

A SPECIAL THANKS TO SANDI PRESTON & MICKEY COX

So another dream came true for me...
