Veronica Chessa grew up with an artist father, a painter, who immersed her in this “magical” world that she loved above all by osmosis. She likes to play with art, especially with works from the past. She does it through a surrealist approach, which allows her to wander with the imagination. “After all, everything is possible in a dream”. You graduated from the Art School of Grosseto, continued her studies graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence (painting section) with a thesis in Aesthetics entitled “Silver nitrate: the public and the cinema”. In 2004 she moved to Fano, where she currently lives and works.
For Utopian Movies (Alessandro Lentati) has to do with cinema. He began his career as a film editor, then became an assistant director, screenwriter, producer and finally director of a feature film. He has collaborated with audiovisual archives related to the world of advertising. In addition to cinema loves music: he has made music videos and visual for artists and bands. His latest project, Utopian Movies, exploits the boundless potential of Artificial Intelligence (mixed with the essential human eye that selects and “refines” what AI produces) to create alternative film posters, imagining them as they would be if another director directed them: how would Psyco have been if Dario Argento had directed it? One thing is certain: in every project, Alessandro always tells a story.

Born in 2000, he grew up in Cormano, in the province of Milan. He has been passionate about drawing since he was a child, copying scenes and characters from the cartoons he watches.
