3:36

At the darkest hour of the night, a young woman takes shelter in her bathroom. Haunted by nightmarish visions, she slowly loses her sanity to memories she won't accept. What reality lies beyond the mirror?

Director Biography - J.P. Ferré

ESRA film school graduate (2008), I worked for five years as project manager at SONIA TOUT COURT, a famous French movie trailer agency. Today, I'm associated with IIW STUDIO-LUX, a post-production company which made the color grading on LES 3 MOUSQUETAIRES D'ARTAGNAN and MILADY (Martin Bourboulon). I work for several agencies as a freelance editor, graphic designer and VFX artist, and made trailers for movies such as UN PROPHETE (Jacques Audiard), PASSION (Brian De Palma), IRREVERSIBLE, LOVE, CLIMAX, LVX AETERNA and VORTEX (Gaspar Noé), and the French trailering campaign for DUNE (Denis Villeneuve). I recently made the trailers for SECOND TOUR (Albert Dupontel), LA PASSION DE DODIN BOUFFANT (Tran Anh Hung) and EMMANUELLE (Audrey Diwan).

Also, using in-game footage from DCS World by Eagle Dynamics, one of the most realistic aircraft combat simulator, I directed several cinematics and short films: THE RIGHT STUFF (2022) and THE GHOST (2021) won several awards in festivals. THE GHOST is the most-viewed DCS film on YouTube with +6.8M views.

I was co-writer and visual effects supervisor on the sci-fi short film ENTITY (Andrew Desmond - 2014), the first French short film to be mixed in Dolby ATMOS. This three-years experience has only strengthened my will to start more personal projects as a director, with stories I want to write. In 2016, I directed my first live action short film, 3:36.

An animated short film project, MEMORIES AND THE SKY, is in pre-production, and I'm also in the development process of my first feature film, produced by THE PROJECT.

Director Statement

"We all have sometimes awakens in the middle of the night, not sure if we were still in our dream or if it's the reality. We all have known grief and mourning. 3:36 is a horror-drama short film without any dialogue. Because first of all, it's a sensory experiment. It's an outlet for fear and sadness, a poetic way to cross the curtains of the night and reach out the light of the day, of the Truth... and beyond."
