BALBOA: The Fan Film That Brings the Legend of Rocky to Life

This isn't just a tribute, but a true act of love for one of the most iconic characters in the history of cinema. BALBOA is the fan film that brings the unforgettable atmosphere of Rocky to the screen, with astonishing fidelity not only to the style and settings, but above all to the characterization of the protagonist. The actor who plays Rocky has worked with extraordinary dedication and intensity, conveying all the humanity, strength, and fragility of the character who has captivated generations of viewers.

Organized by FanitudinƎ, Mirko Alivernini's direction leads the viewer on a journey that alternates tension and poetry, while the editing, curated by our fellow citizen Andrea Donato – a graphic designer for Rai and Mediaset for many years – offers rhythm and visual appeal, helping to make the film an immersive and vibrant experience.

BALBOA is more than just a fan film: it demonstrates how a passion for cinema can be transformed into a carefully crafted project, capable of moving us and making us believe in dreams again, just like the legendary boxer from Philadelphia.
