On the Line - An interview with Silvia de Leonardis
...I tried to make Caroline as human as possible, so it is not easy to say who is the bad and who is the good one. The world doesn´t work this way. And dividing people into good or bad makes us isolated or privileged – both not good for our souls and both not good for a loving and caring community.

Review On the Line by Dreamz Catcher International Filmfestival
...This movie talks about some serious issues in such a simple way, that the audience will be blown away by it. I must say to our audience to take a look at Silvia de Leonardis’s “On the Line” to get great lessons about life... Silvia herself played the role of Caroline, where she did a fantastic job, she expresses the pain of a wife and the fear of a mother through her intense acting.

Prisma An Interview with Silvia de Leonardis
One of the most interesting and exciting aspects of your film is certainly acting. In such a powerful drama, how do you manage to bring an actor into these deep emotions? - ...it was easy to guide my actors through this process. You simply need to know what they die for and some other things and you can lead them with imagination. In a time where acting has often become second-rate, I want to set a mark for how beautiful this craft is and also how powerful it is...
