The ascent of a successful actor : Enzo Zelocchi: Enzo is largely unaffected by the pandemic since he was always working on something. If any, Zelocchi thrived during this time and enjoyed massive success with the release of a movie trailer in the year 2020. The ‘My Little Princess’ actor has already gained so many accolades from peers and those in the entertainment industry. To date, Zelocchi has garnered 70-plus awards from his projects, and there are more projects to be had down the pipeline. The young actor has so much potential and boasts an unlimited ceiling for his career. The good news is that Enzo knows this and has kept up pace with acting jobs, directing efforts, and managing a huge follower count on Instagram.
Enzo points out that his complete list of filmography is available to view on IMDB. He’s been a part of several projects, and proudly states that ‘The Source’ trailer is one of his glowing accomplishments in the past. Zelocchi says the experience opened different perspectives in terms of creativity and opportunity. Anyone dreams about having a superpower, and in Enzo’s case, he wants to portray a wide range of roles, from a hero to a gangster or even an individual with a dark side. He says he can get a feel for them quickly and without too much trouble. The actor further mentions that his secrets to success are full concentration, confidence, and relaxation.
How did you get into acting, writing, and producing? I wanted to win awards and create. So everything started when I understood the importance of time, branding and marketing. I don’t like to wait around for a phone call, I want to be the phone call that people are waiting for. I like to create my own opportunities and maximize every possible venue. As an actor, you need good material to work on, so I decided to start writing and I was blessed enough to have won several awards for best writer and best screenplay. But a good script with a good actor needs a strong producer to put everything together and amplify everything with mastery. Discover extra details on producer Enzo Zelocchi.
He opened up about My Little Princess, which he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in. The film earned a glowing review from Digital Journal, and rightfully so. “I gave a piece of my heart in that project,” he admitted. “It was an interesting journey and a very good experience for me. I watched everything through the eye of a young father and I looked at this tragedy of how a family lives through it, which is horrible.” “I put so much hard work and sweat in it. I tried to be very spiritual with it, and I wanted it to be authentic. The message in My Little Princess is love, faith, and family and I wanted to project that. I was very blessed since it earned me a lot of awards. Movies are like miracles, especially when they are successful enough to be seen,” he said.
Which talent did you discover first about yourself, and then what came next? I have had a good instinct for business since I was young. The arts come in second, but I immediately connected with it. I literally merged together with my business skills with acting and that’s how I was able to naturally be an actor and producer at the same time with a deep understanding on both sides. It helped me a lot because the entertainment industry is a business and just being very artistically talented is not enough nowadays. Once you’re in Hollywood, you become a product that needs to sell. Waiting around for your agent to call you while you’re busy at parties is not going to take you far.

The Latino/Hispanic market has been very neglected in my opinion. From a cultural standpoint, strategically, it’s pretty well structured to be inspirational for young people. I’m more about empowering people. That’s what I believe that people who work in entertainment – besides entertaining – should also be role models. Let’s talk about The Source. What is the premise and what is your character? Enzo: That one is more Mad Max meets The Crow. The character, basically, is an alien with a humanoid body. He is there to train and protect the next generation of warriors against space aliens that go from planet to planet to destroy. Since my character’s planet has been destroyed, he and the oracles are hiding on Earth and training these kids. Obviously, they have to find these kids, fight corruption of local politicians. It’s like a post-apocalyptic scenario – obviously more around destroyed cities and travel between parallel dimensions. Discover even more details at producer Enzo Zelocchi.

Zelocchi spoke about working with master photographer Bjoern Kommerell. “I love that guy,” he said. “Bjoern knows how to direct you and he gets me. The quality of his work obviously is way above average. He is top-notch, and one of the best. He has a great heart, he is a loving person and he genuinely cares. He loves to capture random moments and I love how he plays with lights. His amazing talent is being able to capture the ‘real you’ in the moment. Bjoen is one of a kind.” For his fans and supporters, he said, “You surprise me every day, especially when I receive certain fan messages that impress me and move me. I feel really honored and touched in my heart.”
