The Outstanding Work of Alberto Accettulli

Acclaimed director Alberto Accettulli has worked on the “Jeep Limited Compass,” campaign which was shot in India for the Indian market, filmed the “Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk” in Nevada for the worldwide market -as well as the “Jeep Legends” campaign shot in California for the United States market. The campaign has been a huge success in terms of numbers and achievements.

In addition to his work with Jeep, Alberto also worked with DKMS – a blood cancer charity non-profit organization, as well as being the world’s largest international donor center. Over its course, DKMS has assisted in registering over 8 million potential donors and facilitated over 70,000 blood stem cell transplants worldwide –a crucial part which takes care of people looking for bone marrow transplants.

Alberto, happened to be the exact director they were looking for as he was able to give a fresh and rejuvenated look to their films -without cutting out the emotional and key factors. Through the incredible work of Alberto and the rest of the team, they debuted their first movie at the New York Gala Love in 2018 for DKMS and raised an astonishing $4.4 million dollars! In addition to the astronomical amount of money that was raised, the film also received a record amount of views on their social media pages. This was an incredible accomplishment for Alberto to work on a project for the health industry with real patients who had survived cancer –in addition to working on projects for companies like Jeep.

All this high praise is well deserved. Once you see Alberto’s finished work you immediately recognize that the highest quality motion capture and filmmaking in general has been accomplished by Alberto. He is a true artist and as we have said many times before, a very well organized person who knows how to get the most out of a camera and how to bring the best out of a product.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Journalist Marietta Steinhart

THE COMPELLING AND REWARDING WORK OF JOURNALIST MARIETTA STEINHART

Have you ever wondered what it’s like reporting on the film industry in Hollywood? “It’s an outright compelling job,” says Marietta Steinhart, an experienced film journalist. “But make no mistake about it, the hustle is real. It’s a lot of hard work. On the surface it’s all glitz and glamor, but like anything else it takes true dedication and involves a lot of hours brooding over a computer and sitting in dark movie theaters,” says the Austrian film critic with a smile.

We bumped into Marietta Steinhart the other day – an open, engaging and keen lover of movies – at Insomnia, a small café and favorite hangout for local scribes, not far from the Hollywood strip. She’s the Austrian film journalist who covers all things movies in LA for the Austria Press Agency, a national newswire; Zeit Online which accompanies prestigious German newspaper Die Zeit; and ray Filmmagazin, a super-smart, decidedly exclusive, independent film magazine, published in Vienna. But what’s that like? “Like everyone else, we have a job to do. The difference, of course, comes when you do something that you truly love. I think that applies to anything you have a passion for – whatever it is you do, if you have a real passion for it, your work never feels like ‘a job’.”

Indeed, if your vision of being a freelance film journalist means dressing in designer duds, sipping exotic cocktails at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel and talking to movie stars all day, Steinhart is the woman who will burst your bubble. “Of course glamor is part and parcel of this world, especially in Hollywood. That’s what you see when you read an article or watch a story on TV… But writing those articles involves doing research, watching material, juggling deadlines, managing different parties with their own agenda in a marketing-focused culture – and a lot of alone time in front of your laptop”, she says.

When Steinhart hangs out at places like the Polo Lounge, there’s nothing casual about it. Much like the celebrities who are there to promote their latest film or television project – “that’s why they call it the movie business,” she says – Steinhart has a job to do. Even if that job means interviewing the likes of Judd Apatow, Anthony Hopkins, Amy Schumer, or any one of scores more film professionals that have shared their stories with the journalist from Vienna. Teams of professional publicists are pulling the strings behind the scenes. Not only are journalists like her carefully vetted before ever putting a recorder or a camera in front of an interview subject. They also place firm limits on the amount of time allotted for most encounters.

When people talk about film journalists, many times they forget an important part of that title: journalist, and they don’t really address that word when they are conjuring up glamorous images of what a person in that position really does for a living. Marietta Steinhart has turned in countless of reports, film reviews and interviews over the years and has covered the Oscars along with top film festivals. “Your job is to riddle, interpret and … unravel”, she says. “And try to tell insightful stories.”
