What’s Your Name 41? a beautifully shot debut featurette from Marcel Grant, uses the stunning background setting of Venice to tell the story of renowned artist Sam Clarke, played superbly by Con O'Neill, who is commissioned to create a sculpture for a rich, dying client. In order to find inspiration Sam leaves London for Venice where he sets about creating his masterpiece. It is a journey of self-discovery that forces Sam to face some awkward truths and culminates in a tragic ending for everyone who becomes entangled in Sam’s inner turmoil.

“Absolutely superb performance from Con O’Neill.”
DAVID GIBBONS, WHITE SANDS FESTIVAL
“Excellent film. Very well made and clever plot. Lead actor very impressive. Great filming environment which is well planned out on a technical and cinematography level. Films such as these place a festival apart in the United States from so many that do not have a foreign film schedule.”
