An other short film...

My life is a lot about making film. That is what I love almost the most. And now it is time to release an other short film that I made 4 years ago.

This time is is a really strong drama about three siblings woring up alone in the family home. And they had a really bad start in life that has made them who they are today.
One day a man knocks on their door and presents him as their older brother. He is there to know more about his family and to find his way back home....

This was one of the hardest short films I have ever made. The script was really challenging to write and to direct, just because it is so real! I wanted this film to show what is behind the headlines in the news paper when you read about people that his been hurt over a period of time.
A lot of the inspiration came from Dave Pelzer's book "A child called 'It'", who is one of the worst stories I have ever read, but it moved me so much.
And I started to realize what was behind all these headlines we read from time to time.

As a director it was very tough to direct two of your best friends in an incest scene, almost a rape. Well, it was a rape, just not one of those wich were physical destructive and happens out in the streets...
That scene almost broke me as a person, but it became so good that it lifted the film totaly!

Have a look at it and please feel free to leave a comment about it. We know we are not the best filmmakers in the world, but this time it was all about the story.
