Thanks to the EVERYMAN CINEMA, the talented cast & crew of To Love A Narcissist and all the invited guests for a memorable London premiere Friday 8 May! We mixed, we mingled, we watched, we drank, we fell over (well, I did) and then we got up and did it all again the next day at Century Club!
So incredibly proud of my old pal and ‘almost sibling’ Raffaello Degruttola and star Lyndsey Marshal (no superlatives exist that do her performance justice!) It’s an honour to be part of Team Contro Vento!
The London premiere of To Love A Narcissist will be held at the Everyman Cinema in London 8 May! The film, which I produced with Contro Vento Films, will be released in North America 19 May 2026 and worldwide three months later. Thanks to our distributors at Freestyle for organising. The film is listed as a new release in their thriller, drama and romance catalogues.

To Love A Narcissist will premiere at the Ariano International Film Festival 2025! The Italian premiere will be held at the Auditorium Lina Wertmüller di Ariano Irpino at 8.30pm Aug 1. The festival rewards filmmakers who have made a significant contribution to the history of Italian and international cinema and is a huge honour for Raff, whose family come from Ariano Irpino. A red carpet event Aug 3 will pay tribute to his work and be attended by some of the film’s stars: Lyndsey Marshal, Stephen Campbell-Moore and EP Sadie Frost. GRAZIE Ariano!
Next stops London and Hong Kong!

Excited to share that To Love A Narcissist, the film I’ve been producing with Contro Vento Films, will premiere at the New York Socially Relevant Film Festival (SRFF) 16 March at 7.30pm! This is the second time we have reached the competition stage of SRFF. We were honoured to receive a Special Jury Mention for Transference in 2020. With most of the world in lockdown then, the festival was held on zoom. This year, we’ll be zooming in the old-fashioned way! ✈️
Thank you SRFF for supporting our films and our vision to create a platform for those affected by the themes our films explore to connect and access support. 🙏🏽

Thanks to Variety for this nice piece about Sadie Frost joining our Contro Vento family as an executive producer on To Love A Narcissist, the history of Contro Vento since founder/director Raffaello Degruttola was BIFA-nominated for Flim, and where we boldly go next! I am proud to be producing this film with Raff and Bill Bossert. Thanks to reporter Naman Ramachandran for the much appreciated publicity and for explaining what Contro Vento means in Italian (we are full of wind).
The latest trailer for the film I am producing with Raffaello Degruttola and Sadie Frost just dropped! Trust is weaponised in To Love A Narcissist, our first dramatic feature film since Transference went viral (24M+ views on YouTube). Filming wrapped in Lake Garda, Italy, last month and post-production is in full swing! (We just completed our first cut!) Stellar performances across the board by Lyndsey Marshal, Stephen Campbell Moore, Sule Rimi and Andrea Lowe.
I am also thrilled to have joined the Contro Vento team alongside Raff and Bill Bossert!

What better day to let slip I am producing a film called To Love A Narcissist than Valentine’s! To Love A Narcissist is another obsessive love story by Raffaello Degruttola where trust is weaponised. Our last film collaboration Transference went viral on YouTube and has now been viewed over 23M times. This one stars the magnetic Lyndsey Marshal alongside Raff and a stellar supporting cast that includes Sule Rimi, Stephen Campbell-Moore and Andrea Lowe. You can follow the film @Contro Vento Films and toloveanarcissist.com.
