Film: Angel and Diamonds | 2010

“Angeli e Diamanti” is an Italian mini-series episode aired on Canal 5:
"Captain of police, Chiara Rosi (Vittoria Belvedere), Marshal Giorgia Bocci (Martina Stella), and police Lieutenant Laura Rocci (Camilla Ferranti), three undercover agents, are invited to Puerto Rico to thwart a diamond trade and arrest an elusive thief, the one responsible for putting Chiara’s father at risk of losing his job and credibility. Chiara and her team have no choice but to go undercover in Puerto Rico to begin their investigation.”
During the three-month shoot of this TV series, the main challenge was working with a director with whom communication was limited (both the director and producer were from Italy). Trust became essential. Many complex sets, high expectations, and the constant pressure of time made the production both long and challenging. As there was no art director on the project and the production designer quit after the second week of shooting, all the responsibilities of the art department fell on Sophie Aurélie. Fortunately, the members of the art department were dedicated and fun to work with.
At the end of the shoot, the director’s first acknowledgment was to Sophie Aurélie and as a thank-you gift not one but two bottles of fine Italian wine. Yes, he realized how much work the art department had to take on, and that unexpected thank you felt truly rewarding.
