An Interview With T3 And ‘Sound Of Silence’ Star Penelope Sangiorgi

After watching the new horror film Sound of Silence, which impressed me, I knew I wanted to speak to the people behind it before its March premiere. I sat down with the Italian directors, known as the collective T3 (Stefano Mandala, Alessandro Antonaci, Daniel Lascar), and the film’s star Penelope Sangiorgi who is making her feature debut as the lead character Emma. In the film, when her father is gravely injured, Emma returns to her family home in Italy. Alone in the house while her father recovers, she encounters a haunted radio – and the evil entity behind it. With the supernatural force growing stronger by the hour, Emma must reveal the dark secret behind the radio’s curse to survive the night. I highly recommend that you listen to the audio. T3 and Penelope have amazing accents that you just have to hear. https://soundcloud.com/kelli-r-marchman-mcneely/an-interview-with-sound-of-silence-directors-and-star?si=94b53315b5024558afd0cdd738f74bbe&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Interview Transcription Kelli: “So I just watched Sound of Silence and really enjoyed it.” Alessandro: “Oh,
