EVA COLLÉ – 25, drifter, Berliner, poet,  pet-owner, sex worker, virgo, recovering addict, housewife, feminist, model – declared privacy an outdated concept at the age of 14. 

​This is the tale of a young woman growing up in the age of the internet, turning the search for oneself into a public spectacle, challenging you on what a woman should be. Through her fragmented personalities you see the emergence of a generation, in which the concept of a fixed identity has grown old.

A portrait of modern existence.

During his final year at the Fine Arts school of Gorizia (Italy), Marco showed a lively interest for filmmaking, especially for experimental and surreal cinema. He successively moved to the UK and graduated with First Class Honours in Film Studies at the University Of Wales, Lampeter.

In 2007 Marco joined The London Film School to attend a two-years MA course in Filmmaking where he graduated in directing (2009) and has been working as a filmmaker and video designer since.

He has directed several short films during his university years and in 2018 has developed and shot a feature length project titled “L’Uomo Selvatico” (The Wild Man) that is currently in post-production.
