Material Success (2012 Documentary)

Material Success is the WINNER of BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE  at The Toronto Independent Film Festival.





OFFICIAL TRAILER


Following the misadventures of the eccentric designer Bruno Ierullo as he readies for his first fashion show following a personal tragedy that inspires him to risk his life savings on a mid-life career change into the art. Taking the viewer behind-the-scenes of the processes and people involved in preparing the unusually large 300 plus garment collection for the runway within a mere month's time, Material Success features fly-on-the-wall observations and confessionals from the squirrely designer and his tireless band of colleagues that reveal his kaleidoscope art to be a reflection of his iconoclasm. 
Peering into the world of fashion production and the different processes and people involved—from textile shops, to local leathersmiths and a button factory—hilarity ensues as the show day approaches, ego's clash and the devote friendship between Susana Benevides, the collections production manager, and the designer is revealed. 

The feature film debut of director Jesse Mann, MATERIAL SUCCESS paints a quirky world literally filled to the rafters with colour, where friendship and courage can inspire change at any moment in your life.
