Film director Michelle Danner is releasing “The Italians,” a quirky
dramedy about family, love, and tantalizing Italian cooking.
“The Italians” shows the Vitali Family, an Italian-American family, as they meet their
son's new fiance who is decidedly not Italian.
Director Michelle Danner says: “This is a deeply touching story about loving family,
forgiving family and irresistible Italian food.”
“The Italians” is Danner’s eighth directorial project following on the heels of her latest
success, “Miranda’s Victim,” which was released last fall and told the incredible true
story about the creation of the Miranda Warning after the brutal assault on 18-year-old
Patricia Weir.
A renowned acting teacher and co-founder of the Creative Center for the Arts (formerly
known as Edgemar Center for the Arts) and the Los Angeles Acting Conservatory,
Danner’s list of students has included Christian Slater, Salma Hayek, Gerard Butler,
Seth MacFarlane, Penelope Cruz, Chris Rock, Gabrielle Union and Zooey Deschanel.
