DIRECTOR
EtxA.R.T. is a professional filmmaker specialised in close-up photography. A tireless traveller, a realistic and profound author whose interest in people came to life while filming the streets of London and Buenos Aires. There began his love affair with the human face. They say that EtxA.R.T’s filmography is ingenious, intelligent, and that it is filled with humanity. The person versus the character.
When one of the best creators of scents asks you to make one of his dreams come true on film, the sense of perception changes radically, the one of your vision of the senses too, especially the sense of smell.
Nasevo wanted to film a manifestation of odors.
There was just one minor detail about that order: it had to be shot on a single day.
The challenge was to coordinate seventy people and eight companies during one day, on five stages, shooting one take per scene.
After six months designing the production, we were prepared to be able to make this short film.
“On a planet without odors, a child learns from his grandfather to enjoy odors.”
I think that Gordon Willis, Michael Cimino, Christopher Doyle, Heath Ledger… have
helped me make it.
Surprises
At the editing table we realized that among the distinguished extras was the Formula 1 driver Pedro Martinez de La Rosa with his daughters; we later confirmed this with production emails.
Location
Alella is a small town in Catalunya (Spain.) It is one of Europe’s smallest designations of origin that offers magnificent wines of ancient tradition (Roman era.) Its narrow streets and wineries offered the best stages.
