Director Statement

Everyone on earth has a fire that burns inside them and every flame burns for different things.
Very few people on earth have a strong passion for Cinema and they cannot imagine themselves doing anything else.
This short captures the first spark of that fire, showing an argument between Lucy, a young girl who wants to learn filmmaking, and her mom, excited but worried for her daughter's future. Lucy might be a bit naive but her curiosity and will are so strong they are impossible to ignore.
Lucy describes to her mother every step of the filmmaking process on set, showing both her knowledge and excitement. While she does so, their living room becomes an actual set so we, the audience, can actually see how everything is made.
Lucy never breaks the fourth wall, she never speaks to us directly. It's almost as if we could see inside her head the scene as created by her imagination.
It's a pleasant short film for both filmmakers and non-filmmakers. It shows not only how a movie gets made, but also why.
