Watch My Short Film: CIALT
What started as a “small” personal project eventually grew into a short film with over 30 volunteers, 5 Actors, A drone, 4 shoot days, Key Art designed by a 4-time Emmy-winning art director, a score composed by an award-winning composer, and 3 Film Festivals in 3 different countries. So much for keeping it simple!
It all started on Threads in the sweltering heat of the Madrid summer when I answered a post from Screenwriter Sophie von Rheden, looking to connect with directors and filmmakers in Madrid. I entered the world of video creation through fashion films and music videos, and I had been contemplating a personal project to challenge myself with something more narrative-based and slightly more commercial than the more fluid and fast-paced timelines of fashion and music videos.
In my mind, I was looking for a short, dramatic script in need of a Director and/or DOP, to test myself in this genre and see how my vision translated to a longer-form narrative story. I was thinking one weekend, two actors, and I could edit it and maybe get a colorist to collaborate with me, and that would be that. Sophie sent me her screenplay “Attic Trap”, we agreed to move forward together, and the rest is cinema!
