"Alfred is just a really sweet film, and though usually I don't like the flashback technique (rolling the whole film back) it works for his film, because he does it so fast ! It's sweet, and yet it uses the "f" word almost every other word ! And almost every gesture has a sound-effect ! But I like it !" Steve Weiss from No Festival Required - Phoenix, USA.
I'm very glad to introduce my new film : Alfred (or the story of a Wonder Fish). Produced by Imagina Prod, this movie was filmed last year in NYC. He is co-directed with my friends Aaron Hobson and Jean-Charles Lehuby. Since today, this film is presented in world premiere during the Cannes International Film Festival. Click here if you want to watch the teaser. If you want to see me, I'll be there from tomorrow until May 15th. Contact me by email or phone, I'll be around, with a few DVD of the movie...
The beginnings
This week-end, from March 3rd to 6th, I'll be in Strasbourg for the last stage of the Nisi Masa European Short Pitch 2011 : the pitch contest. Me and my directors friends, will exchange with producers from all Europe. I'm sure many good projects will be born from these meetings !
As I cannot speak yet about my projects in progress, today I want to share with you a picture that really struck me in 2010. It's the meeting between Ulay, who came on the opening sitting in front of his ex-collaborator since everything has separated them during their rupture pact on the Great Wall in 1988. The audience fell silent and Marina Abramovic started crying. Then she moved her arms to him and they shook their hands during a few moments by breaking the rules of her performance.
Mark your calendars : from March 18th to May 8th, 2011 Collette Blanchard Gallery is pleased to announce Cinemascapes, an upcoming solo exhibition of Aaron Hobson's recent panoramic photographs. The ten photographs span the past three years of the artist's work and will be on view from November 13 through December 31, 2008. Click here for read a press review from Lenscratch
To mark this end of the year particulary sporting for everyone, I'm very happy to announce that my movie Alycia is now available on the website. Next year, I will publish some extras of my films to show you how shootings looks like, and who are the beautiful people with wich I work. Merry Christmas everybody !
After the honorary mention of the jury during the contest “The Keystone” and the national selection, I'm now an european finalist of the Nisi Masa European Short Pitch 2011 with my personal screenplay “LUI". Next step : the pitch contest in 2011 ! I will let you know ;)
