Founded in 2019

A recipe for magic.

From the Source is the product of a group of friends whose individual talents run as deep as the variety between them who set out to make something beautiful purely for the love of creation.

In the spring of 2019 as my olive oil importing business was starting to find some real, if totally accidental, traction it occurred to me that it would be fun to document the process more extensively than I am able to with my iPhone and limited skills.

Coincidentally it just so happened that my friend Conor Callahan was longing to see more of what I was seeing with my eyes, and suggested the idea as a way of distracting from the fact that he was asking me to come ride motorcycles for him in a moto test shoot.

Bada bing bada boom next thing you know I’m picking up the crew in Milan and we’re off to shoot a movie.

I love it when a plan comes together.

David Dellanave is a dilettante and dabbler. Becoming a purveyor of the finest Italian olive oil and other foods was a happy accident only accelerated by the pandemic. He has had a passion for motorcycles since he was a kid and rides thousands of miles a year. This is his first foray into documentary film but hopefully not the last.
