The 2024 XBIZ Performer of the Year, Seth Gamble, has been honored with multiple award nominations by the Doppio Senso Night Awards Show. The prestigious annual event is the creation of popular Italian journalist and host Mossimo Bonera, owner of Doppio Senso Night, a live weekly television show on Italy’s Prima Free network. For 2024, Doppio Senso Night is honoring Gamble’s exhilarating Reckless with a Best International Movie nomination, while the overall excellence of his work as a filmmaker was recognized in the Best International Director category.

Reckless focuses on the dilemma facing racing enthusiast and tech genius Silas Knight (Gamble, performing his first lead in a feature he wrote and directed). Fresh out of prison, he vows to straighten out his life and start a legitimate business with his beautiful wife, Harlow Knight (Ivy Wolfe in an iconic performance). But the past just won’t let go, and he finds himself enmeshed in a web of greed and betrayal after creating a chip that radically improves car performance.

From master mechanic Brooke Michaels (Kenna James) to corrupt detective Matteo Bennett (brilliantly portrayed by Hall of Fame legend Lexington Steele), everyone wants what Silas has. But when a dead body is discovered, all the evidence points directly at Silas, who gets arrested. Desperate to help clear her husband, Harlow throws herself at the mercy of none other than his former lover, Avena (Kenzie Anne), daughter of mobster Dino Moretti –  played by Axel Braun, who also produced.

“I’m grateful and humbled by the recognition bestowed upon Reckless by the Doppio Senso Night Awards,” enthused Gamble. “To be nominated for Best International Movie is not just an honor but a testament to the collective passion and dedication the cast and crew poured into every frame of this cinematic journey. I extend my deepest thanks to everyone at Doppio Senso Night not only for embracing our work, but for celebrating the art of storytelling in film, a medium that transcends borders and languages. This nomination is a reminder that dreams and hard work know no bounds, and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to share Reckless with the world.”

Gamble was just as enthusiastic when discussing the recognition his overall output as a director had received.

“As a filmmaker, to receive the news of being nominated for Best International Director is a profound honor that words struggle to encapsulate. It’s a recognition not just of my work but of the incredible team whose dedication and talent brought my visions to life. This nomination is a testament to the hard work of many gifted technicians and, of course, many talented performers. I also want to thank my wonderful wife, Kenzie Taylor, for her support of my work.  To Doppio Senso Night, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for this humbling acknowledgment. This nomination fuels my passion to continue pushing boundaries, to delve deeper into the art of filmmaking, and to inspire audiences worldwide. Grazie mille Doppio Senso Night, for believing in the power of film.”
