Hi all,
the day after my poor car was given to the flames by some very insensitive people I tried to think of something else by putting online again my internet site www.nicolaprincipato.com
I hope you all will enjoy its new stories!

Blackwater Criminals Inc.

Sometime ago I was wondering if everyone should know what Blackwater is.
Then I started wondering how many do know it among the people I know, especially because in Italy you can hardly hear of it in the news.
And then, as it often happens, I ended up with no answer.

New York Crossing - Trailer

This is a short film I made in New York.
It lasts about 38 minutes and I've already given it as a gift on DVD for Christmas to some (very lucky!) friends.
Now I'd like to check if this is supposed to remain just a friend-to-friend video or if somebody else may be interested in it.
If you want to help me to find a distributor or simply to organize some showings I'll be happy.
Take care, state bene,
Nic

Please don't send Season's Greetings cards !

If there's something that I don't really like in this time of the year, that's Season's Greetings.
I discovered this kind of wording when I was living in U.K. in 2006 at my friend John's place. As Christmas was approaching, a number of Season's Greetings cards started dropping in our mailbox, and at first I was quite puzzled as in Italy you always and only say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and you never wish just Whatever you like in the winter season.
Then I understood that there may be several possible reasons behind this wording (and that I wasn't the only literary geek as usual) going from being religiously correct towards the ones don't share your creed to just selling more greeting cards to corporates.
Nevertheless, as usual my conclusion is that I didn't change my mind, and that I still dislike Season's Greetings, because if it wasn't Christmas, we'd hardly wish anything at all.
So please don't send any Season's Greetings card, or at least do not send it to me!
I hope you're still in time...

The battle against advertising

I hate advertising invasion. My personal battle will be about mocking it.
Period.
