Question: Are the directors of both films L'Ultimo Pulcinella and A Little Stiff from the same country?

Maurizio Scaparro( born 19 January 1932) is an Italian stage and film director, playwright, journalist and author. Born in Rome, in the early 1950s Scaparro started working as a journalist and a theatre critic for the newspaper" L' Avanti!" and later for the magazine" Maschere, rassegna mensile di vita del teatro". In 1961 he became the director of the magazine" Teatro Nuovo", and in 1963 he was appointed artistic director of the Stable Theatre in Bologna. He debuted as a stage director in 1964, with the play" Festa grande di aprile", and got a first large critical acclaim in 1965 with his version of Carlo Goldoni's comedy" La Venexiana", which he first represented at the Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto. During his career Scaparro directed over sixty plays, and was artistic director of several theatres, as well as of the theatrical section at the Venice Biennale. He also directed a number of films. <SEP> I Want Your Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film. Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews. The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons. The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes. The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword. This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively. <SEP> Caveh Zahedi plays himself as a neurotic film student who develops a crush on art student Erin McKim after a brief encounter in an elevator.
