Interpersonal Storytelling

We love to tell stories. We do it constantly. There’s the stories we tell our friends at bars; there’s the stories we tell our families. But sometimes — as filmmakers — we have to tell other people’s stories.

Angelo Lagomarcino

In 1918, Angelo Lagomarcino was doing just fine.

He had a successful ice cream parlor; a wife, Luigia, that loved him; and a bustling downtown that was eager for ice cream treats. With success, came new fixtures: custom-made booths; a soda fountain bar; a brand new terrazzo floor. Luigia quickly tightened the purse strings.

Hot Fudge

One day, a travelling salesman arrived at Lagomarcino’s with a briefcase.

Behind hushed whispers, he offered Angelo the Holy Grail of ice cream toppings: the perfect hot fudge recipe. Angelo couldn’t believe his luck. And without so much as a cursory glance at his wife, Angelo reached into his pocket, and paid the salesman twenty-five dollars.

Luigia was furious.

$25

More than a century later, Lagomarcino’s still use the same recipe for their hot fudge.

Some would say it was the best twenty-five dollars Angelo ever spent.

Lagomarcino’s is part of the Illinois Made series: the craftspeople, artists, family-owned businesses, small-batch breweries, distilleries, foodies, and farmers that make Illinois prosper.

Alongside the Illinois Office of Tourism, we get to tell these maker’s stories through short form documentaries. It’s a rewarding experience, as many of these businesses would otherwise not have the opportunity or platform to share their story.

Because everyone has an amazing story to tell.
