Diabla
Sita Abellán releases a new short occult horror short film, which comes in the form of a music video for her recently released track “DIABLA.” The film comes as a collaboration with filmmaker Francesco Calabrese, known for his story-driven, visually striking work in both the narrative and commercial fields.
The film, which juxtaposes the famed 90’s Spanish clubbing movement Ruta Del Bakalao with a period piece set in the 1600s, is a story of resilience and survival in a world where all aspects of society are hell-bent on conforming those who deviate from the norm. In the video, Sita and others like her are condemned as witches due to their “abnormal appearances" (featuring Sita’s iconic blue hair) and hunted by the townsfolk.
Francesco Calabrese
Francesco Calabrese has been interested in storytelling from a young age. He moved to LA to develop his short film Lovely Monster into a feature length film with LionsGate after CAA discovered it. In addition to his successes on the narrative side with a number of shorts that gained a lot of attention, he has worked with a wide range of global agencies crafting visually driven commercials, music videos and internet content.
While he’s shooting commercials all over the world he keeps busy developing more feature film projects, writing scripts and shooting short films. Agency collaborators include Leo Burnett, Y&R, TBWA, Ogilvy, JWT and BBDO for clients such as Gatorade, Jeep, Alfa Romeo, Lululemon and Yamaha among many others.
