After having directed more than a hundred video clips, for singers such as Piotta, Alex Britti, Mietta, Mariella Nava and Max Pezzali [1] and after their first unfortunate experience behind the camera with Zora the Vampire , the Manetti Bros. direct a small-budget thriller film, set mostly in an elevator: Floor 17 .
