Get to know the filmmaker:

1. What motivated you to make this film?
It was a spur of the moment decision, we met through a mutual friend whom was convinced that we could do cool things together and voilà !

2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?
Production / filming wise 3 days, then post is always longer because when you work on a small budget you try to arrange your planning between paid job. But also the main thing was to find the right compositor for the music. And working with Axel was a first and great experience

3. How would you describe your film in two words!?
Keep Dancing

4. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film?
Finding the right music, and a composer, to set the pace and tone of the film

5. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?
It’s funny because it made me happy to see that people were moved by something we did totally last minute and unprepared and from there create emotion ( but without knowing how it will be seen )

6. When did you realize that you wanted to make films?
One day before filming 😀

7. What film have you seen the most in your life?
Yes, Madam with Cynthia Rothrock and Michelle Yeoh ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPPsso0dia8&embeds_referring_euri=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F&source_ve_path=MTM5MTE3LDM2ODQyLDIzODUx&feature=emb_title )

Hard to answer because I wasn’t there

I think that’s most difficult question, it change everyday depending of my mood but one thing I always come back to is a plate of plain pasta with butter and parmesan cheese 😀

11. What is next for you? A new film?
