We have decided on the actors. Arianna and Sébastien will take the lead roles. We established the details with Arianna yesterday and I’m glad that she looks forward to participate in the project. I am confident that she matches the role and it really pleases me that she shows the same enthusiasm as we do. The shooting will start on Thursday.

This evening we will meet Séb. From what I saw on pictures he will be the right choice for our character. I am sure he will feel the role because of his great experience in acting.

We really love Arianna and Séb to evolve the characters they play. Marko and I have a certain understanding of what we are looking for but we don’t want to limit the actors performance. It is them who will make the character feel, think and behave. We want the actors strongly to be in the process of developing the story from the characters point of view. This whole short film will be a team effort. And we want every person to participate in their way. I am glad Arianna seems to be happy with that. Although it possibly means more work for the actors the artistic freedom will greatly influence the result in my opinion.

Marko will compose the music. I am so excited about this. Not only will the whole short film be original work but also, with Markos deep understanding of the story, we can really work out a symbiosis between the picture and music. This is an often underestimated aspect of motion picture.

We’ve done some test shooting yesterday and the rig seems to be stable. The Parisian sun smiled at us. The picture we made look promising. It’s time to fill the picture with life.
