The story behind the film
The short film is a passion project we did in NY last autumn. We used high ISO to be able to shoot in low key environments and played with colorful spills. We wanted the image to have a ‘’wet’’ feel to highlight lonely environments of both characters. The analogue film to me as a director is an irreplaceable medium. You can always see the physicality in the grain and textures. Above all it has this specific workflow – it magnifies the moment you are about to shoot and adds an additional spark to the crew and cast members.
