Dn recently joined filmmaker Iacopo Carapelli for a intriguing conversation about his branded short You’re On, the latest campaign spot from global brand Ray-Ban. We were taken by Carapelli’s frenetic camerawork and grasp of potent imagery and when we saw another one of his films in our submissions we knew we’d be in for another visual treat. The short, this time around, is a music video for Caterina Barbieri and her song Broken Melody. It’s a beautifully crafted and contemplative film which metaphorically represents the journey of the creative process visually through a portal into an abstract plane populated with picturesque imagery. Dn caught up with Carapelli again to talk over his collaboration with Caterina Barbieri, how he matched her sonic sensibility with equally dynamic images, and the feeling of ecstasy that motivated him through the production process.

However, and surely intentionally on the artists’ part, that read of what’s on screen might depend partially on one’s jaded adult worldview.
