A short documentary on illustrator Gianluca Folì sharing his work, influences and process. Parts filmed in his studio, director Davide Ragona, gives the viewer an inside view of Folì the artist. “Basically what I like about my work as an illustrator is the bridge I build between myself and the client.” Foli continues to say, “The chance that he or she gives me to use my own work and to make it enjoyable for as many people as possible. I think that is a really important exhange and I believe the respect you have for what you do for the work itself, increases at each stage.”
