Hotel Bloom opened its doors in Brussels this Tuesday 11 January, a hotel in which the designers wanted to make the style inspiration shine out and express the establishment’s working philosophy of teamwork, wellbeing, sustainable development and creativity.
Primarily aimed at business clients, Hôtel Bloom wanted its conference rooms to be decorated with the portraits of people who marked their time with their enterprising spirit and their talent; figures such as of course Franco Dragone, captured right in the middle of his work by the camera of Mehdy Nasser.

We are happy to introduce a new short film produced by Franco Dragone. The title character, Willie Jones, is played by Wayne Wilson who met Franco in Las Vegas during the rehearsals for the show “Le Rêve” in which he was one of the main character.

Wayne Wilson is an American actor whose unique artistic palette extends far beyond the stage. Wayne’s vision and expressive passion have led to the creation of two critically acclaimed clown troupes, The Rotten Plantains and Your New Best Friends.
He studied with world-renowned Clown Master Pierre Byland in Switzerland, and in 2003 began performing with the National Tour of Cirque du Soleil’s Dralion. He has had the pleasure of working and learning from such notables as David Shiner, Bill Irwin, Rene Basinet, Jane Nichols, Claudio Carneiro, and Daniel Passer. Recently, he has created two digital short films in which he portrays the title character Willie Jones, an homage to the genius of works created by the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.

For these short films he received the help of Franco who produced this project.

Here is one of the Willie Jones’ video :
