"This guy does everything wrong. He drinks in a bar, argues with his lady friend -- now he's upset as well as drunk! -- then gets behind the wheel of a car. While driving along a curving country road, he talks and texts on his cell phone -- then plows into a girl on a bicycle. Her ghost returns to haunt him. That sounds like the beginnings of a traditional supernatural horror tale. Do you suppose the girl haunts the man until he confesses? Or until he dies a grisly death to pay for his sins? Or that it's all in his mind? The Sweet Hand of the White Rose is beyond all that. Its dramatic twists and turns culminate in an unexpected and poignant resolution. Apart from some beautiful photography, The Sweet Hand of the White Rose demonstrates horror's ability to effectively influence and inform (in this case, about the dangers of distracted driving), earning an Honorable Mention for writer/director Davide Melini."

'The sweet hand of the White Rose' - Honorable Mention
I'm really proud to report that 'The sweet hand of the White Rose' received the Honorable Mention at the american festival "Tabloid Witch Awards" (push here to read the winners). The movie will be screened on October 30 (6 p.m. till 11:30 a.m.), at the Miles Memorial Playhouse, in Santa Monica, CA. This is the comment about our short film:
