Marcello, I'm So Bored is a 1966 short animated film co-directed by John Milius and John Strawbridge. An intentionally crude cartoon with a live action epilogue in which Milius appears with Gayle Hunnicutt. The film was made when Milius was a student at the University of Southern California and was a parody of Italian cinema. The film was edited by George Lucas. Milius' first film is important because it was the beginning point for his contribution of a style emphasizing depth and meaning in American popular films.

The documentary moves around the amazing figure of Osiride Pevarello, a circus performer with a very long career in cinema, from Lattuada to Germi, from Ben-Hur to Fellini, up to Tinto Brass. In this exquisitely lively and unexpectedly dense short film, Osiride faces the world by showing off confident steps and assertive vocation, as if he had everything under control and it was not necessary to demand more. Until the beautiful ending, when the voices of the sleeping boys give shape to a desire: to have a home. Osiride, lying on the bed smoking his umpteenth cigarette, as always he cannot sleep before the return of his eighteen-year-old daughter, who works under mistress in a dartboard. We discover the melancholy of a man who would like to leave from there, to find four real walls for his family. The camera moves to let us glimpse the pope's image on the dresser; one should have faith in miracles

The artist describes how the nomadic school, founded in 2013, centers on the concept of "assembly" and collective creation which promotes an educational system based on emancipation, inclusion and self-cultivation.
