This ambitious project has taken Rossini to various locations across the globe, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Lebanon, India, and Japan.
The Illusionists has garnered significant attention, with Indiewire selecting it as its "Project of the Day" and winning the title of "Project of the Week" through popular vote.
