At Locarno Pro, Marco Perego advised independent filmmakers to focus on a director’s vision rather than financial gain. He shared his perspective while accompanied by his wife, Zoe Saldaña.
Perego, who described himself as “a disruptor,” spoke at the event about the challenges and rewards of producing independent films. He emphasized that profitability should not be the primary driver for such projects. Instead, producers should prioritize trusting the director’s creative vision and allowing them space to execute it without interference.
Perego had three titles in competition at Cannes this year. His advice stems from a belief that artistic integrity is paramount in independent filmmaking. He stated, “Don’t produce indie film for the money… but trust the vision of the director and stay out of their creative way.” This suggests he believes financial considerations can stifle creativity and compromise the quality of an independent film.
