Melissa Butz Corsi, My Dante GoFundMe Campaign (2021)

“Director, Producer and Scriptwriter, Melissa Butz Corsi, and Cameragirl, Editor and Creative Director, Irina Oborina, joined up as a two-person team to showcase a fresh and modern Dante…”    —Gofundme (retrieved on June 18, 2021)

Butz Corsi described the project in a 2021 LinkedIn post: “For the past couple months, Irina Oborina and I have taken on the daunting task of creating a documentary in Florence called, My Dante. It is about Italian poet and author, Dante Alighieri (I know you remember Dante’s Inferno, right?).

“We have completed interviews with museum directors in Florence, professors and experts on Dante, and most importantly with different people who have made Dante an important part of their life. We need a bit of help to finish the project and I want to invite you to check out our trailer, website and crowdfunding page (all are included on this link: https://gofund.me/e727ca03).

“We are so excited for this project! Make sure you SHARE this post and send it to anyone you know who loves Dante or any producers who would be interested in buying it! Thanks and happy watching!!”    —Melissa Butz Corsi on LinkedIn (2021)
