Federico Zampaglione’s The Nameless Ballad Starts Filming
The new supernatural horror feature from Federico Zampaglione (Shadow, The Well), The Nameless Ballad has started filming in Fara Sabina Italy.
After the success of The Well, the Italian director returns behind the camera to tell a terrifying story steeped in mystery, set in a world he knows intimately: the music scene.
Jamie Ward (His Dark Materials, Juliet & Romeo) stars, which also includes Giglia Marra (Morrison), Fabrizio Ferracane (Black Souls), Seumas Sargent (The Signal), Reed Stokes (The Tour Guide), Mia Desando, Vincenzo De Michele, and Sergio Ceglie. A special additional cast member will be revealed soon, delighting fans of the genre.
In The Nameless Ballad, Sam Gallo (Ward), a young and successful musician with a fragile and introverted personality. Crushed by the pressure to create new songs and haunted by addictions he cannot overcome, Sam retreats to an isolated villa in search of inspiration. But his vulnerabilities make him an ideal prey for the dark presences inhabiting the house: entities that feed on his anguish and deepest fears, luring him into a labyrinth of visions, torment, and self-destruction.
Also drawn into this spiral of horror is Tania, his partner, played by Alana Boden (Mr. Selfridge, I Am Elizabeth Smart).
Written by Federico Zampaglione and Barbara Baraldi (Dylan Dog), the film takes the viewer on a journey along the thin line between imagination and nightmare.
Zampaglione comments: “Although deeply rooted in the supernatural, this is probably my most personal film, because it is inspired by my work as a musician and singer. With The Nameless Ballad I brought the story onto an imaginative and daring plane, where, in the shadows of the music world, every note awakens a ghost and some melodies demand blood before fading away.”
