FROM THE IDEA TO THE FILM

A conversation was responsible for the idea to this short film. A producer colleague from wtp told them about his 8 minutes short film. It took him 1 1/2 years to finish it with around 80.000 € budget. He mentioned the different financial subsidies he needed: script development subsidy, project development subsidy and production subsidy. “This surely is possible in a quicker and cheaper way”, Roland Reber says. The idea was born. Roland Reber and Marina Anna Eich wrote the script within one morning and performed the two characters. The shooting was done the following weekend. Editing and doing the English subtitles took another week. The whole crew including the actors consists of 4 people. The total expenses (Catering and travel costs to the location) were around 95 € for the entire 13 minutes short film which was invited to various national and internationa film festivals. Marina Anna Eich was acclaimed the BEST FEMALE ACTOR AWARD 2001 at the Festival Night of Bavarian Shorts, AFM American Film Market in Los Angeles.
