Director Statement

Lucie is a realistic coming-of-age drama about a teenage girl's dilemma of freedom pursuit. Teenage years are messy. Especially for girls. Ran hopes to create something that feels truthful. Most actors in the film had no acting experience. Ran also chose to shoot with portable camera with hand-held style and mostly natural lighting to accommodate the spontaneity of her actors, to make the film honest, emotionally complicated and alive.
