Cannes King Marco Perego Saves Indie Cinema!

Just recently, Perego was front and center, basking in the glory of two major wins. His productions, “Fjord” and “Minotaur,” absolutely crushed it at the prestigious film festival. “Fjord,” a masterpiece from Cristian Mungiu, snagged the highly coveted Palme d’Or.
