After all, it’s a city that has long stirred the imagination of artists and travelers. In late 2019, I had the amazing opportunity to make my first feature film in Sicily, an experience that was terrifying, exhilarating and extremely fulfilling. With The Old Man at the Bar, I wanted to recapture some of that magic. My favorite movies often follow two people falling in love on screen… when you can feel that chemistry between the actors and the relationship is authentic, nothing brings a bigger smile to my face." - Alexander Jeffery ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If you enjoyed this film, please like, comment, and subscribe for more short films.
