Among the projects is Jean-Michel Stazzu’s “Everything Can Happen”, slated for production in Spring 2020, with Michele Laroque and Caterina Murino attached. A French/German/Italian co-production, set against the backdrop of the refugee crisis in Southern Italy, the movie was written by, and will be directed by Jean-Michel Stazzu, who previously headed ICM France and worked with Christian Fechner as a producer.
Laroque will portray an actress who lives off her past reputation and struggles to cope with the precariousness of her situation, until circumstance offers her a chance to reconnect with both her past and the realities of life through a chance encounter with an orphaned refugee on the Italian Island of Lampedusa. Opposite, Murino will play the head of a refugee camp who seeks to focus international awareness on the crisis.
Laroque is represented by UBBA. Murino is repped by AS Talents.
