The Filmmaking Process
Screenwriting
Getting the idea, forming it, exploring it.
A playful beginning leads to the heart of the story.
Forced by structure, the characters begin to speak.
On the page, they take a life of their own.
Directing
Here is where the real fun begins. It’s getting real.
There’s nothing like feeling the team spirit on the set,
when professional technicians and human hearts work together.
This is where the magic happens.
Post Production
This is where it all comes together. At first, the editing
is painful, all is rough, nothing really fits. Yet.
Then, things become beautiful and here you can show
your love for the little things.
