Juan Pablo Di Pace: DUINO Was An Answer To 'What Am I Doing
When college-age Matías attended an international school on Italy’s Adriatic Coast, he fell passionately into the world (if not always the arms) of his eclectic classmates, most memorably a live-wire Swedish rebel-prince named Alexander. Now decades later, as a filmmaker, he is trying to recapture the world — and love — he lost, by making a film about his past. The Film is writer/co-director by Juan Pablo Di Pace (who plays older Matía, and as an actor starred in Frameline47’s The Mattachine Family) draws on his own life for this film. While Duino starts in the present day, the flashbacks to Matías’ college years in Italy gradually take over, and we see what has so captivated and obsessed Matías for decades: the energy and promise of young lives, the unrequited yearning for a just-out-of-reach lover… these are memories that will both inspire and haunt the young filmmaker and give Duino a delicious and sexy poignancy. Executive produced by the late television legend Norman Lear (All in the Family; Maude) and Brent Miller (One Day at a Time), Duino also stars newcomer Santiago Madrussan, August Wittgenstein (Das Boot), Krista Kosonen (Tove), and Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson (Succession).

Understanding Concurring Mental Health Equity Allows Highest Level Of Health
The therapy I was initially taught was tailored to a standard American lifestyle. My own experiences were not represented, and I couldn't help but feel others from minority communities might feel the same way. I knew once I began my journey as a Mental Health provider that cultural humility and cultural competence would be necessary to gain your client's trust. There is no effective treatment plan without trust. I began to wonder if there are any changes we can incorporate in our studies to no longer oppress people of diverse backgrounds because trauma is as complex as the perspectives of our client's cultural and linguistic identities. Therefore, our psychological studies are sometimes inadequate for our BIPOC communities due to the complexity of our cultures.
