The Jury for Cinema

William Brookfield, a lawyer, wrote his first screenplay in 1995, for the film Rough Magic, directed by Clare Peploe and featuring the young Russell Crowe. In 1999, he wrote and directed his first film, Milk. He has written historical thrillers for AMC and Discovery Channel. In 2002, he wrote the horror film Close Your Eyes, directed by Nick Willing and winner of numerous awards at international festivals. The most recent film he scripted, Kidnapping Freddy Heineken (based on true events, featuring Anthony Hopkins and directed by Daniel Alfredson), just finished shooting.

The eclectic Marco Malvaldi knows how to do a lot of things not very well: after graduating in Chemistry, while studying at a conservatory, he tried to become a professional opera singer, with inauspicious results. Things didn’t go better on the university front. After hanging up his voice and stuffing his test tubes in a drawer, he tried to write a book. That went a little better: he has published the quadrilogy BarLume, Odore di chiuso, Milioni di Milioni and Argento vivo.
