Runner, directed by Nicola Barnaba, starring Matilde Gioli and Francesco Montanari, was shot entirely in Gasperina (Catanzaro) in Calabria.
Produced by Camaleo and distributed by Plaion Pictures, the film was financed by the Calabria Film Commission’s 2022 Bando per il sostegno alle produzioni audiovisive in Calabria, with contributions from the Ministry of Culture. The cast includes Federico Tocci, Ilenia Calabrese, Saverio Malara, Vincenzo Scuruchi, Flora Contrafatto and Hana Vagnerova.
Principal photography on the action thriller began on 8 February 2023. Twenty-five-year-old Lisa has dreamed of working in film production since she was a child. Getting a job as a runner is a significant achievement – her entry into the industry and also the springboard for a wonderful career. She’s finally on a set where she starts a relationship with Sonja, the film’s star. What more could she want from life? What could go wrong? The actress has a dark secret that overcomes her in unexpected moments. Accused of Sonja’s murder, Lisa is forced to flee. She must run fast, to save her life and find the evidence to exonerate her and catch the killer.
A tense thriller, Runner is set entirely in an hotel. The claustrophobic atmosphere of the isolated labyrinthine 5 star hotel and the brooding darkness of the night are perfect for Bosco who has been tracking Sonja for a while, intending to bring a long-awaited vendetta to an end. But something goes wrong and the man finds himself chasing the young runner whose only fault was being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
