Trained at the Ecole Louis Lumiere, Nathalie took on the film’s longest task, the editing. Given the number of rushes, merely assembling a rough cut was a feat. But editing seamlessly to create the film’s three possible outcomes proved a particularly delicate mission.
In collaboration with Ali Bali, she patiently moved through each step of the editing, fulfilling her mission as requested. In the end, she gave us 3 versions of the 19-minute film with 4 sequences of equal length right down to the frame. Nobody had never done it before. Now, she has.
After this experience, any other editing job is like child’s play. Today, she uses her talents at France 2 television.
VIRGINIE GELERNT
First Assistant Director
Trained at the Conservatoire Libre du Cinéma Français, Virginie joined the team with previous shooting experience. She has worked on several short films as well as a t.v. movie produced by Hamster Productions.
With energy and a wonderful tenacity, she filled her role of assistant director like a pro! After accessing the director’s personality, she played a complementary foil, and the strategy worked perfectly. The shot plan seemed impossible to keep up with, but it was followed to the letter (or almost…, spontaneity is part of the charm of this business).
JOHANNE HEUDE
Second Assistant Director
A graduate of ESRA, Johanne had participated in several shoots as an assistant before joining the team. She had also already directed two 26-minute documentaries, one of which received awards in several film festivals.
Her experience was quite useful in regards to the complexity and density of the shoot. Each day she had her share of surprises and problems to resolve ‘on the spot’ so that the workings of the film didn’t get bogged down. A lot of stress, but she kept a cool head on her shoulders, luckily for the film!
RAPHAELLE MARCHAND
Script Girl
With a solid literary background, Raphaelle wanted to breathe the atmosphere of a film shoot before giving herself over entirely to screenwriting. The job of script girl, who spends 100% of her time with the text in her hands, was made for her.
For a first experience, she didn’t have an easy task, as an interactive screenplay is much more complex than a linear scenario. The number of possible errors, that the script girl is charged with hunting down and eliminating, are multiplied due to the parallel versions the narrative takes.
Thanks to her vigilance in each moment, problems were kept to a minimum.
