When he decides to return to his first love, Milo tries everything. “I reactivate all the little network that remains to me from the time when I was an actor and then, one thing leading to another, things happen. One person introduces me to another and so on and eventually, a project will be offered to me and it happens like that.”
He will respond to an ad for a casting call, where there is a role that he believes suits him. It’s for the movie”La Résistance de l’air”, a drama by Fred Grivois with Reda Kateb, Ludivine Sagnier and Johan Heldenbergh.
“I applied for this casting, and I passed it, enthen, I got a role in this film and that happened very quickly actually. And there, I take it as a sign.”
A meeting will also change everything, it is the one with Sabrina Nouchi, actress, director and producer in the city and her partner in private. “She is in the business and we share our lives. She has lots of projects and at that moment, I need to be really immersed in this world. We are going to direct, co-direct feature films.”
Emulation arises from this professional and personal association. Creativity, inspiration are mutual.
“These are projects that get me more and more into the swing of things. Together, we learn and progress too”which will then lead to this film, “My Middle”. Here we go, there will be no turning back and for four years, Milo has been making a full living from his profession.
“My environment” is the result of perseverance for Milo Chiarini, “It’s an old childhood dream, I always had the ending scene in my head. So I wrote the screenplay around it.”
The director is also impatient to see on the big screen the culmination of a lifetime, to finally see his dreams come true, to have believed in them, even if for that, he had to mature and take new paths. of sleepers which ultimately connect.
“I am at the same time, proud, happy, but I know that I struggled and that it is not over, but I am happy and I am also stressed to know how people will receive my film”, he confides in an ambivalent state. He sums up the story in a few words: “It’s a Corsican and city boss version of Romeo and Juliet”.
The pitch in the press kit tells him a little more about the plot:
“After 20 years in prison, Nico regains his freedom, his family, his friends and must face the financial difficulties caused by a long absence among his family. The strong ties with his childhood friends, now a figure in Marseille’s organized crime, will undermine his desire to have a normal life and make up for lost time.“.

“It’s not a detective film,” assures Milo Chiarini. On the contrary, it explores the complexity of human nature, the impact of a social environment in the construction of a life and internal tensions. Confronted during his career with the world of banditry and thugs, he was also able to study the different facets of men who sometimes find themselves in a path that is not necessarily chosen.
“I wanted to mix two worlds, the thugs from the 80s/90s that I knew well and the current thugs from the cities of that fairly strict world.”
Everything is fiction even if the atmosphere is that experienced as a police officer. As a movie buff, Milo Chiarini loves “The Godfather”, “Scarface”, “Little Odessa”, “Goodfellas”, “In the Name of the Father” among others and his favorite actors are De Niro, Al Pacino, Christian Basel, Daniel Day-Lewis etc.
On the Actor side, Milo Chiarini is in the casting of the new Canal+ series, which will be broadcast in January 2025, “Indian cemetery”.
