Marco Bolla started his filmmaking career during childhood by filming his action figures engaging in epic battles whilst simultaneously narrating the dialogues. This evolved into him using family members at gatherings to act in a film he would invent on the spot. Whilst the content, casts, crews and sensibilities of his work have changed drastically, that same childlike energy and passion remains in his current work as both a commercial and narrative filmmaker.
Jeanne Remi is a recent graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Liège. She’s an actress, director and teacher for Art-T theatre. Highly inspired by the Stanislavskian method, she focuses her artistic research on actor’s and actress’ inner play and gestures. She has directed two short films and one medium-length film. Jeanne likes to tackle themes about work precariousness and injustice as well as the balance of power that can emerge rapidly between several individuals. Dark humor is her main angle of attack.
Jeanne :
As a professional actrice, I regularly have to go through this peculiar process called “casting”, during which I have to ride an emotional elevator; switching from stress to fear, anger, joy, pride and more - all in a moment’s notice. This process fascinated me.
I approached colleagues, wanting to know about their experiences. People had been subjected to weird power dynamics, embarrassments, humiliations and much more. Being inspired by all of these stories, I wrote Au Suivant (Next).
Marco:
After a previous collaboration as actrice – director, Jeanne asked me to co-direct Au
Suivant. I quickly connected with the satire in her writing and chose to adapt the comedic script as a tense character driven story centered around the theme of potential, with an existentialist
undercurrent.
Wanting to prove that we could make an engaging film with the available means, we moved
forward on Au Suivant as a no-budget short. So as a passionate team of 6, we came together
on just one Sunday to create, simply because we wanted to.
We hope that our passion and love for filmmaking shows on screen, and that viewers will be
both entertained and moved by our tale of hope versus bitterness.
Thank you.
