How to Achieve the Impossible | Alessio Della Valle | TEDxGrandviewHeights

In this compelling talk, Alessio takes us on his remarkable journey from the art-infused streets of Florence to the dazzling lights of Hollywood, illustrating the inception and creation of the movie he wrote and directed - "American Night." He shares how he drew inspiration from the classics, reimagined with a daring vision for contemporary cinema, and how he faced challenges unique to directing Hollywood-style English movies in Italy - territory previously uncharted by Italian filmmakers. This narrative is not just about dreaming big but about breaking through seemingly insurmountable barriers and the relentless drive to achieve what has been deemed impossible.
