Zapata Films' When in Venice Now Streaming on Amazon Prime

September 23, 2023, Tappan, NY... Janson Media is excited to announce the streaming release of When in Venice, a visually stunning feature film from Zapata Films, now available on Amazon Prime Video in the USA and the UK. Directed by celebrated filmmaker Juan Zapata, the film earned accolades on the 2023 film festival circuit. It tells story of Max and Maria, two strangers who meet in a hotel in Northern Italy. With Venice just a train ride away, Maria convinces Max to spend a day with her in what she considers “the most romantic city in the world." What begins as a spontaneous trip becomes a playful tale of unforeseen love and the emotional ironies of contemporary adults.

A Cinematic Tribute to Venice

When in Venice is a beautifully crafted story of love, loss, and self-discovery, set against the romantic backdrop of Venice. Starring Peter Ketnath, a renowned actor recognized for his roles in Cinema, Aspirins and Vultures and the World War II drama series Passport to Freedom, and Bellatrix Serra, the film's lead performances bring depth and emotional nuance to the narrative.

The film has been praised for capturing the spirit of Venice, with Variety's Anna Maria de la Fuente hailing it as "a love letter to this iconic city." Its sweeping shots of the Venetian landscape blend seamlessly with its emotionally charged story, making the city an integral character in the film.
