My exam project. My script is one of those selected in my class, the four that were produced. The school gave us a small budget, which we tried to increase through an Indiegogo campaign that honestly gave us a little satisfaction despite not having achieved the goal. I’m very proud of the idea behind the story, the dilemma between the characters. However, I’m not sure I could transfer it to the final product as much as I would have liked. We had a lot of problems during pre-production, but then also on set and in post-production. It was a though experience, physically and emotionally. And I think the editing is not quite finished, I’ll try to work on it a bit more. And who knows, maybe I’ll find the way to turn it into something more, longer and deeper into the characters psychology. Anyway, after a few months, I can look at it again and feel a bit of gratification for having managed in some way to make it.
