Director Statement

This film, let's say the entire production, started as a sarcastic joke, a challenge.

I already planned to go to Brazil with a good friend of mine and I was talking to his mother around Christmas 2015 about going to shoot Exit in January because being busy with many year log productions I just wanted to make something fast.
And for people not in the industry, that sometimes sounds a bit like boosting.
So his mom came back at me sarcastically saying that quickly shooting a film in Amsterdam doesn't really sound that much of a challenge. I know the film-scene, the crew, if I was up for a challenge why not shoot in Sao Paolo. A very creative city and on the list of visiting anyway.

Of course I spotted the sarcasm, but I could not help being spiked by the idea, the challenge, the creativity needed to pull this of.

So I started to make some calls and send a message to the sone friend I had in Sao Paolo. She just happened to visit a party that night where she talked to Mauricio from the Sao Paolo Production company; Trust filmes and he took a liking in the idea, telling me that if I would come up with a good script he would back me with his company, crew and facilities and so we did.

It was an unbelievable adventure to shoot a movie in a new world, with people I've never met, speaking a language I don't know, and shoot it in that language.
But for me it was almost natural. I usually direct upon subtext. I love playful and witty dialogue, but from the actors I want to see subtext. Favourably 5 layers.
And Isabella and Guilherme were wonderful actors, taking the plunge, asking more when needed and just absorbed all my directions and brought there own.
All into a powerful and down to earth performance.

A blast to make it and creating new friendships in the process
