  Step by step, we are getting closer to the studio shoot day of the new film and I am so excited to work each member of the team.

The great Ultra Cinema Festival which I really hope I can attend one year.It was amazing to watch the film along   with many great films in Laussan’s LUFF festival , meeting and making new friends. Next stop will be Kassel Documentary festival.   In the mean time, there are even more world events to digests. The American election, seems like world’s election and we are all waiting what effect the choice of a nation  will have on us all in different countires.It seems the world order needs revising.

The placements are panicing me.I should start contacting studios I suppose. Science of Sleep by Michel Gondry:really love the combinataion of animation and live action but i think the film could be much nicer if it has Jean Pierre Leaud of Traffuat films ,as the main charachter!
