Student's comment

This is the pitch for my diploma film, shot in April 2023. Driven by a reel desire for fiction, these are the challenges related to period film that imposed themselves on me. These constraints, in particular those related to the decors, proved to be very stimulating for me during the writing. The result is a film of around twenty minutes, the culmination of a very rewarding year. This project was indeed an opportunity for me to better understand the role of production or casting.
