Livia Oya PROTO

Hello ARTTMODERNMIAMI readers, how are you? You will remember me from my previous articles. Let me write again for those who do not know. I am Livia Oya Proto, the “Echo” Pilot Episode director. Today I would like to introduce the press release of the fan film “Balboa”, which will be directed by Mirko Alivernini and of which I am the 1st AD.
Mirko Alivernini Brings Rocky Balboa Back with a Fan Film on the Big Screen: A Gift for Fans of the Legendary Boxer.

Italian director Mirko Alivernini, known for his commitment to independent cinema and innovative use of new technologies, prepares a special gift for fans of one of the most iconic characters in film history: Rocky Balboa. The project, a fan film dedicated to the famous boxer played by Sylvester Stallone, will be produced for no profit and will be available for free on the official YouTube channel of Mainboard Production. The release is scheduled for Christmas Day 2024, a date that perfectly symbolizes the spirit of this heartfelt and passionate tribute.

A Tribute to the Legend of Rocky

For all Rocky fans, this film represents much more than just a fan film: it is a tribute to one of the most beloved characters ever. With this project, Alivernini aims to celebrate the timeless figure of Rocky Balboa, who, since his debut in 1976, has inspired generations of viewers with his values of determination, courage, and perseverance. Rocky is not just a boxer; he is a symbol of the fight against adversity, humility, and willpower.

The film will be available online, making it accessible to all fans at no cost in line with the spirit of sharing and passion that drives Alivernini. The decision to release it for free on YouTube underscores the importance of community engagement from fans, who have consistently shown a deep and sincere connection to the character of Rocky over the years.

An Exceptional Cast

In the lead role of Rocky Balboa, we will see Sebastian Gravanti, an actor chosen for his impressive physical resemblance and ability to capture Stallone’s fighting spirit.
Gravanti will face the challenging task of portraying both the strength and vulnerability that made Rocky an unforgettable character. Alongside him will be Noemi Caneva’s role as Rocky’s partner, Adriana, which is challenging for this young actress, whom we wish all the best. Mirko Alivernini will direct the film with support from Italian-Turkish director Livia Oya Proto. The collaboration between Alivernini and Proto’s direction, promises a fusion of styles and artistic sensibilities that will add a unique touch to the project. While not all cast details have been revealed, talented actors are expected to contribute to this cinematic celebration.

The Importance of the Fan Film

Fan films are an increasingly popular phenomenon in the film world, especially for characters and franchises that have created an unbreakable bond with audiences. With this project, Alivernini emphasizes how Rocky Balboa is more than just a cinematic character: he is a cultural icon and a hero of modern times. The director has aimed to create this tribute for non-profit reasons, driven solely by his passion for the saga and the desire to share a special moment with a fan.

The Christmas Release

The choice to release the film on December 25, 2024, is not accidental: Christmas represents a time of unity and sharing, and what better gift for Rocky fans than a film dedicated to their hero? It will be a special way to celebrate a character who, through his story of redemption and resilience, has touched the hearts of millions worldwide. With this fan film, Mirko Alivernini promises to deliver a sincere emotion and a new, unofficial yet deeply respectful chapter to the Rocky saga. All that remains is to wait.

For Christmas Day dive back into the atmosphere of Philadelphia, to the sound of “Gonna Fly Now,” ready to relive the adventures of cinema’s most famous boxer.
