“Everything has a Rhythm” is more than just a film: it’s a journey into the personal story of Francesco Montesanto, a young and determined entrepreneur at the helm of Médisin, a historic pharmaceutical company founded by his father. When life unexpectedly handed him this responsibility, Francesco had to grow up quickly — not only professionally, but above all, as a person.
Before all this, music was his world. A space of passion, instinct, and self-expression that he had to set aside out of necessity. But what music had taught him stayed with him: in life, as in rhythm, everything finds its tempo. That’s the thread running through this project — a reflection on balance, intuition, and inner strength.
The film was born with the intention of presenting Francesco in a different light — far from the conventional tone of the pharmaceutical industry. It’s a sincere portrait dedicated to those who stand by him every day: suppliers, collaborators, agents. A special moment shared during Médisin’s 2025 medical convention, held in the remarkable setting of Borgo Egnazia.
The creative process was long and deeply human. We spent over a month with Francesco — in his home, at his table — listening, sharing, composing. Together, we wrote an original score, crafting it from the ground up, and letting it guide the tone and rhythm of the entire piece. It was a large, young team — over forty people on set — who brought this story to life in just three intense days of filming.
One of the most symbolic moments came through scenography: for a key sequence, we rebuilt his office on a set of custom rails, allowing the space to move — physically and metaphorically — and visually convey transformation, fluidity, and change. It was a bold creative choice, technically complex, but deeply aligned with the soul of the project.
The visual style — sharp, direct, at times loud — was deliberately shaped around Francesco’s taste. We embraced it not by compromise, but by conviction. Because every story deserves honesty, even when it wears colors far from our own.
“Everything has a Rhythm” is a film, yes — but also a gesture of mutual trust. A project we didn’t just make, but fully lived. And what remains, beyond the images, is a friendship that started with a story and found its own rhythm.
