Overview
- The Carlo Acutis episode, which Francesca Scorsese directed, premiered December 7 on Fox Nation as the series finale of Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints.
- Francesca says she declined to film Acutis’s entombed body in Assisi, opting for only a slight amount of stock footage to avoid disturbing the site.
- She openly notes she got the job because Martin Scorsese oversaw the project as executive producer and narrator.
- Francesca says she hesitated to work with Fox Nation due to its politics but adds Fox was the only outlet that backed the series.
- During production she shared dailies with her father, who praised the rushes and largely held substantive notes until post-production.
