"Tutto il tempo del mondo - Corto - All the time in the world - Short movie Sub (ENG)"
"The story of a man, a television and a society which is no longer able to assume its responsibilities. Among wine, psycodrugs and pathological indifference, the last hour of a man's life, the mirror of a humanity that has lost all contact with the world that generated it. The short film is a critique of society 'of the liabilities', looking every event as if it was distant and with no effect on their lives. Locked up in a shell of indifference that makes us apparently invulnerable to any event, padded with alcohol, pharmaceutical substances, television and technology. Invincible and still, until the end of the time available for us to fix our mistakes ."
- Michelangelo Ruzzene

“Pete Kavanagh’s “Hold On” directly addresses what so many are feeling, but cannot find the words to describe themselves. A chilling exploration of the highs & lows of the current state of the society we share – “Hold On” is profoundly haunting, melodically enchanting, and passionately performed; it’s the perfect combination of mood & music that captures & expresses the essence of the human connection. ”
