Working with living legends is as easy as it sounds.
Audiences everywhere are abuzz with the news that comedy legend Sebastian Maniscalco teams up with two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro in the new comedy, About My Father.
The film follows Sebastian, who is eager to introduce his immigrant, hairdresser father (De Niro) to his fiancée’s (Leslie Bibb) wealthy and eccentric family (Kim Cattrall, Anders Holm, Brett Dier, David Rasche). What ensues is a hilarious culture clash that helps Sebastian and Salvo understand the beauty of family. Director Laura Terruso teams up with screenwriters Austen Earl and Sebastian Maniscalco to tell a story that is influenced by both Maniscalco’s and Terruso’s childhood and their relationship with their Italian immigrant parents.
Terruso sat down with No Film School to break down how she transformed her inspiration for About My Father, working with exceptional actors like De Niro, and how understanding every aspect of filmmaking made her a stronger director.
