I don’t really know but I think Italy works different. I once met this Italian producer at a film festival. He spoke to me for about 20 minutes in Italian while wildly gesturing. His translator then gave me a deadpan look and said: “He asked you how film financing works in East Asia.” I gave a short answer and then the translator spent 20 minutes explaining and translating my answer.
