AGBO Studios Event in Los Angeles, CA | Italian Filmmakers
The Russo Brothers Italian American Filmmaker Forum, presented by AGBO in collaboration with the Italian Sons and Daughters of America
Event | Feb 22, 2025 | 5 min read
This is more than an event — it is a launchpad for new cinematic voices.
Through the fellowship, filmmakers receive production grants, mentorship, and industry access to bring culturally rooted stories to life — a program that has already awarded more than $450,000 to emerging talent.
This is where legacy meets the future.
And it’s where Desert Luna was invited to create a memorable photo booth experience for the big names in the industry.

A Night Honoring Storytelling
With Stanley Tucci presenting the awards, the evening brought together:
• Fellowship finalists
• Industry leaders
• Producers and directors
• Cultural advocates
Every detail reflected intention, heritage, and cinematic excellence.
Translating Mission Into Experience
Our 3-hour live printer booth studio was designed as an extension of the forum’s purpose:
To make a defining career moment tangible.
Each guest received a gallery-quality printed portrait within seconds — transforming a celebration into a lasting artifact.
In an industry that lives on screens, the print became:
A milestone
A keepsake
A symbol of arrival
Why Live Printing Belongs at Film Events
Film is archival by nature.
The fellowship supports stories that preserve identity, culture, and history — and the physical photograph mirrors that same philosophy.
Digital content captures attention.
Printed imagery preserves legacy.
The Result
An elevated, editorial portrait experience that matched the tone and significance of the evening while giving filmmakers something they rarely receive in real time:
A physical reminder that their work matters.
