Since 2015, Laura Delano and Bob Celli have produced five short films. They have been fortunate to enjoy great collaborations with talented casts, crews and production teams. Watch their first film, Figs for Italio (2015) and latest film, Because I Love You (2024), which Bob wrote, acted in, and directed. Following each film, the audience will have the opportunity to discuss the film with Laura and Bob. If time permits, a third film will be shown which was inspired by Laura’s grandmother.

Laura and Bob met as actors while performing in an off-off Broadway show in New York City. They branched out from acting in 1995, forming DelanoCelli Productions, to produce new works and revivals of plays that they found compelling and challenging. They later entered film work after Bob wrote, directed, acted in and produced his first film, Going Home with a friend.
