We Are Who We Are, an eight-part TV series directed by Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name) will have its world premiere in San Sebastian as part of the festival’s special screenings program.
Produced by HBO and European pay-TV group Sky, the series is a coming-of-age tale exploring friendship, first love and sexual identity through the story of two adolescents living on an American military base in Italy.
Jordan Kristine Seamón and Jack Dylan Grazer star in a cast that also includes Chloë Sevigny, Alice Braga, Jordan Kristine Seamón, Spence Moore II, Kid Cudi, Faith Alabi, Francesca Scorsese, Ben Taylor, Corey Knight, Tom Mercier and Sebastiano Pigazzi.
Sean Conway created the series, which Guadagnino co-wrote together with Paolo Giordano and Francesca Manieri. We Are Who We Are was initially selected for the Directors’ Fortnight sidebar in Cannes before the festival was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. San Sebastian will screen the entire eight-episode first season of the show.
HBO will air the first two episodes of We Are Who We Are in September. Fremantle is handling worldwide sales of the series.
