VALENTINO R. SANDOLI

Fashion films rarely appear here on the site, but this time we are doubly lucky, as you can not only watch a beautiful film, but also the accompanying photographic material. Introduce “Cruising” a film by Valentino R. Sandoli and photo editorial by Mdraft Studio. Style by Fer Sempere.

Inspired by films like “L’inconnu du lac” and “O Ornitólogo”, director Valentino R. Sandoli has created “Cruising”, a film that explores desire, erotism and flesh, using an almost voyeuristic style that mixes together with oneiric images that provides a metaphysic tone to the story. A man meets a group of young men while bathing in a lake at the end of summer, and he immediately falls for one of them, who seems to shine with his own light. He follows them into the woods, where he watches them as he finds them in different groups and sex scenes, until he arrives to the one he fell for.

Together with stylist Fer Sempere @fersp27 and photographers Mdraft Studio @mdraft_studio , they’ve created a series of pictures to join the film.
