SPOTLIGHT: MICHAEL PICCIRILLI

While Danielle Francis was researching Obselidia for an phone interview with Diane Bell she learned quite a bit about the cast and crew, particularly Michael Piccirilli, who plays George in the film. The 39 year old Sydney-born actor got his start in theatres in Australia and the UK, performing in vasiour plays including Squirrels and All Men Are Whores (both by David Mamet)
Piccirilli moved from the stage to the set in the late 1990's, portraying James Fraser in a popular Australia sitcom called Home and Away from 1998-2005, and making appearances in two episodes of the hit American television series 90210 as Antonio Garrett in 2008.

Piccirilli shines under Diane Bell's direction in Obselidia. He represents a sort of resilient nobility that is not often seen in todays society.

He will be joining his costar Gaynor Howe along with Diane Bell and Chris Byrne at the Florida Film Festival this year and will be attending the Friday afternoon screening of Obselidia at the Enzian Theater at 1:30.
