The Last Movie Ever [co-written with Lavinia Tommasoli] — An elderly director decides to make one last movie, not just her last, but the last movie ever. In an era where movies are now written, shot and directed exclusively by an algorithm, she will put together a ramshackle troupe made up of rusty old men who have to teach young novices the job, forgetful old actors who seek the support from young actors who have never acted. Who better than them could beat a war machine created to shoot perfect movies?
