Luca De Laurentiis joins Jessica on this week's podcast.  Luca is a film producer who has expanded into the role of executive producer in commercial and branded innovation. He comes from a generation of filmmakers, including his grandfather, the legendary Dino Di Laurentiis, who made the 1976 King Kong, amongst other incredible films. Dino gave Luca his start, and now he's looking forward to sharing his love of cinema with his one-year-old daughter.Luca started his production journey working on feature films, television, and branded content.  As a producer, Luca evolved with the times, curiosity pushing his limits to work outside the traditional boundaries. In 2015, as a confounding member of UNIT9 North America, Luca began exploring integrated production. He became a pioneer in working with emerging technology and building teams that allowed them to create the unthinkable. They experimented with machine learning, generative art, custom prototyping, and Ai. Most recently, Luca has been working with the team at VTPRO Design, where they play with bespoke hardware and have fun with robotics. Luca helped attract a new data set of clients while encouraging  partners to keep pushing the limits. Luca is now consulting and advising with new and emerging companies such as 3D anamorphic content houses out of Barcelona, BCN, and Toronto-based tech partner ZeMind.Movies Discussed Include:PinocchioHome AloneTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesCity SlickersDumb and dumberHannibalMan of LamonchaSwimming with SharksI’m a born liarThe ClockPinocchio (new)LucaHarry PotterThe Wizard of OzGood Will Hunting New Episodes Every Wednesday!EPISODE CREDITS:Host, Producer, Editor: Jessica KantorBooker: Noelia MurphyBe sure to follow and tag Raising Cinephiles on  Instagram
