Short Film Class in Rome Summer 2012

Hi gang, I'm back teaching the summer class of the second section (July) in Rome this summer.

It's an awesome class..  Here's what folks have said about it before:

“If you take one class at the Rome Center, take Rich Martini’s film class.  Changed my life.” Michael Fricchione, JFRC summer class of 2009. “Rich Martini’s class impacted me as much as - if not more than - my entire study abroad experience. From class visits to Cinecitta to shooting a gritty documentary, the class covers a broad range of cinema and Italian culture. It really did change my life.” Charlie Noel, JFRC summer class of 2009. “(Richard’s) contribution to the making of “Salt” was enormously helpful, to Angie, and to my vision of the film. (His) writing, directing, shooting of digital flashbacks, were truly inspired and important components in the story’s telling.” Phillip Noyce, Director of “Salt” “Clear and Present Danger” “I had a great time visiting your class in Rome. Best of luck to all involved.” Duncan Clark, President of International Distribution for Universal Pictures.

Hi gang.. looks like I can make it back to the Rome Center this summer.  Last year I had the privilege to work for Phillip Noyce on his new thriller "Salt," starring Angelina Jolie.. my credit this time around is supposed to be "Creative Consultant," since I wore a few hats during production, from designing the previz website for the film, as well as shooting digital second unit of the flashback sequences.. and I appear in the film at the very beginning as a driver in North Korea.  I won't say much more, but at a preview in Las Vegas the other night, the audience was crazy enthusiastic for the film, saying its her best action film ever.  But that being said, our adventures in IFMS 263 will be of the filmmaking kind.. as advertised, you don't need to know how to work a camera to get into the class, just a desire to work alongside someone who does, or to learn on the fly.. and we do make good films, as witness by some of them linked here.  Hope y'all can make it!
