filmmakers

What is your job exactly?

I'm a filmmaker, I'm working on a documentary. 

No. I’m sorry, but that I can’t do. You’re fucking adorable and I’m digging you and all, but my personal life needs to stay off camera.

Oh, okay. Well, if you change your mind, let me know.  Do you like Italy?

The only thing I would be good at is making a porno. I’m no actress and I would ruin your … art.

I'm sure, um you would um, be good in a- Nevermind. You don't need to be an actress, I need real people. Real people with real stories and real lives, not characters. Actors and actresses make documentaries look fake, you know?

Impressive. Why don’t you act though? You have the looks.

Well, you see, I'm not very good at acting. I can't even lie properly, to be honest. Thank you, but I'm much happier behind the cameras. You, on the other hand, you could be one of the people in front of my camera... if you'd like!

What brings you to this crazy place huh?

Film! I'm a documentary filmmaker, and I'm working on a film about moving to foreign countries and places, and learning how to live in that culture. 

You should hear it every day, that is for sure. I am not, British if you couldn’t tell by my hideous accent. American I’m guessing?

Oh, I could tell, I was just asking if you'd maybe lived here forever, you never really know. Yes, I'm American. I hail from Annapolis, Maryland. 

You’re adorable, did you know that? Well thank you Annie, I’ll take that compliment and tuck it away for a rainy day.

You know what, I haven't heard that in a long, long time. I hope it serves you well, Tannor. So... Are you from Italy?

Well you never know, it might have some old world charm that’s appealing. How long have you been in Italy?

Yeah, I guess it might have some... Not long, a few months at most. I don't know... exactly how long. I'm here for a film project. 

It’s totally fine, there is no need to apologize. Oh, I’m blessed with the privilege of calling you Annie? I’m one lucky girl then. I’m Tannor.

I just, I apologize too much, I guess. Tannor, that's a pretty name. I like it, it fits your face. 

Don’t worry about it sweet cheeks. You got a name?

Oh! I get it! I was just- Lost, like usual. Sorry, I'm Anastasia, but my friends call me Annie. You can call me Annie, and what's your name?

In all my years I don’t I’ve ever been to Annapolis or Maryland for that matter, sounds nice. I’ve been here for years but I still fall in love with it every day

Oh, lord. After being in a place like this, you would probably not like it. It's kind of dreary at times, to be honest. 

Wasn’t talking about the scenery. 

Now... I'm a little bit lost... You're going to have to spell it out for me.

I was going to say something, but I’m a bit too… lost for words.

Well, the scenery is breathtaking. 

You’ve fallen for the scenery, haven’t you?

I always do, it's basically my job. 

Well there aren’t many places like Italy, darling.

I'm from Annapolis, Maryland. Most places are prettier. But, yes, I agree. There's no way there could be anywhere like this.
