Interesting facts

Mindemic is a 2022 Italian psychological comedy drama film directed by Giovanni Basso in his directorial debut. It was in competition at the 2023 David di Donatello Awards.

Production

During an interview for The Hot Corn, Basso stated:"When I penned the script two years ago, I crafted it with Giorgio Colangeli in mind for the lead, having first met him in 2018 while collaborating on my short film Il Grande Presidente. I printed his photograph and kept it as a guiding touchstone throughout the writing process. After sending him the completed script, I fretted he might decline due to its unconventional narrative twists.

The movie was filmed in Rome inside an apartment in via Galeazzo Alessi (Tor Pignattara). It was entirely shot on an iPhone 8+ with an anamorphic lens. Basso also stated that all the phone & video calls that Nino makes in the film were recorded live and not added in post-production.
