A CHANCE ENCOUNTER

AVAILABLE NOW FROM SAMUEL GOLDWYN FILMS

Two Americans, one an aspiring poet and the other an established folk musician, cross paths in the scenic, coastal town of Taormina, Sicily. Their instant chemistry sparks collaboration, leading to an unexpected, week-long writer's retreat at a beautiful villa in the Sicilian countryside. As they immerse themselves in the local culture, they challenge each other to express their thorniest secrets, growing closer all the while.

A Chance Encounter, formerly known as Molto Bella, was filmed at the end of 2019 in Taormina, Sicily on a shoe-string budget and premiered at the prestigious Heartland International Film Festival in October of 2020 where it won the Audience Choice Award. Samuel Goldwyn Films picked up the film for worldwide distribution and released the film On-Demand and in limited theaters in October of 2022.

The film stars Andrea von Kampen as folk-singer Josie Day and Paul Petersen as aspiring poet Hal Flynn.
