5Q's w/Pat Battistini "Ms. Rossi" Director

#1: Can you describe your movie and why somebody should see it?

Chemistry between men and women is interesting. “Ms. Rossi” is a fun take of how men will always pursue women.

#2: What do you want the Borrego Springs Film Festival audience to know about your film that isn’t obvious from its title?

The film was shot in Italy. I love how Italians are so passionate about everything.

#3: What is your movie making background? Tell us about yourself.

I started working in front of the camera 33 years ago. After 15 years of bringing to life someone else’s words through acting, I found much more joy in bringing my own words to life through writing and directing other actors.

#4: What was the biggest lesson learned in getting your film made?

Since the film was shot in Italian, I had to constantly remind myself to instruct the Director of Photography my vision as he is from a different culture and spoke a different language.

#5: What does the future hold for your film and you?

I foresee myself eating homemade chocolate chip cookies in the filmmaker lounge in Borrego Springs. That, and screening the film in more festivals...I hope.
