Split-Vision Development has released the first official teaser trailer for Cantamen, a contemporary fantasy and survival-horror feature written, produced, and directed by Giuliano Tomassacci (Three Mirrors Creature’s Flashes of Flesh, LaBouche Canalla Wins Her Snack).
The story follows Kantika (Giulia Pizzi), a shy young farmer entrusted with guarding an ancient secret. When she is inexplicably trapped in a surreal nightmare, fellow guardians Marius (Fabio Gagliardi) and Musikha (Gabriela Iliescu) race against time to rescue not only Kantika but also an ancient soul named Animunhi (Kate Bash). Three unlikely protectors, one ritual to preserve, and a sacrifice demanded of each of them.
The film was shot entirely in Italy’s Lazio region, using the folkloric locations of the Città del Tufo archaeological park, including the sites of Vitozza and the Orsini Fortress in Sorano. Original music is by Samantha Bird, with production design by Cristiana Fasano, costume design by Silvia Burla, special makeup effects by Noemi Gorgone, and sound design by Tommaso Miclet.
Tomassacci produced through his Split-Vision Development film factory, in partnership with Liveup and with the collaboration of Cavalieri di Pratolungo, Comune di Sorano, Accademia Ergo Cantemus, and I Custodi delle Vie Cave. The teaser’s tagline sums up the stakes: “A sacrifice each.”
