Winner of the contest:
Can you frame Roger Rabbit? Draw your Cartoonia!
StudioRain and GraffitiCreative, Oct 2018
We do not see the Talent Animation Manager Shelley Page in Palermo every day. And yet, she came. StudioRain and GraffitiCreative announced a contest for all the creators that was made especially for this occasion:
Draw your fictional universe, and write 30 lines to describe how it is, what would happen there, who lives there.
The first idea that I had was about a Bazar. Maybe because Dreamworks had recently launched TrollHunter with Guglielmo Del Toro on Netflix, and one of the most important places was a Bazar. Maybe because I am from Palermo, a city that can count on several historical markets, and spent all of its Middle Ages under Arabic domination. Anyway, I did represent a Market. And in my 30 lines, I mentioned a poor king that has to find a way to let the market prosper without having his people scared.
I won the contest, and at the end of the event I got interviewed on Rai3Television, and I was mentioned on la Repubblica.
