Withstand in associazione con Zenit Arti Audiovisive (Torino)
In the 90s, in the Italian music scene you can begin to heard of beats, scratch, break dance, freestyle... the wave of rap propagates across the ocean and arrived in Italy generating an undergrowth of artistic and musical experiences, Initially they were only known by fans of the genre, but earlier became famous to the general public.
In 1994 the output of the best Italian rap record, SXM bi Sangue Misto brings the issue to the fore. Until 1999, is a hive of groups and artists under the spotlight of all media. Then suddenly comes the beginning of the decline of the genreas. Around the 2002 it began another phase of the rap, the protagonists of the previous decade disappear, but their lesson remains etched in the history of music.
“Number Zero” tells the golden age of the italian Hip Hop through the voice of his characters and come to a reflection on the present, thanks to the involvement of an exceptional narrator, Ensi ...
'Numero zero' aims at telling the origins of a music movement still is unknown, even if nowadays it is living a sort of rebirth: the italian hip hop.
Thanks to the fact that the director is deeply involved in the subject, furthermore he worked for years to find the right direction of the storytelling, we are working on an original film, in which the subject is told through an historical approach, by alternating interviews with today witnesses and archive materials (often unpublished).
The involvement of mc ensi (as co-author and speaker) guarantees an entry point to reach a large audience. The collaboration between zenit and withstand guarrantees income of different kind of sources in the financial plan of the project (private sponsors, broadcasters). There will be many distribution channels, thanks to the involvement of the music production company 'tanta roba' that will allow the editorial matching with magazines and records. We will reach national radio and tv stations that are now working with ensi (radio dj, mtv, 105). We are planning a fund raising strategy to get private sponsorships (clothes, records accessories....)
