Martin Scorsese stepped in front of the camera for Lavazza’s new branded five-episode miniseries Family Blend celebrating “the magic of coffee.” His daughter, Francesca Scorsese directed the project as well as co-starred with her father.
Francesca built the series around the places that shaped her father’s life and fueled his creative efforts, filming in locations such as the Little Italy neighborhood in Manhattan and the Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center in Brooklyn.
The series is meant to explore “the deep bond, shared memories, and passing of the torch between two artistic visions” with coffee playing a prominent role, Lavazza says.
