Mauro Russo Rouge

Dear Sooner-Friends, I am excited to share some of my films on Sooner. It's a great platform that showcases the work of many independent filmmakers from around the world. One of the movies I recommend watching here on Sooner is NEEDLE BOY by Danish director Alexander Bak Sagmo. It's an amazing film that showcases a great language and aesthetic. –Mauro Russo Rouge
