Impious

Alexandre Anselmo is a 29-year-old director, specializing in short-movies. Passionate since his youth of the works of John Carpenter, David Cronenberg, Sam Raimi and Paul Verhoeven’s movies, he directed his first short-movie called “Cannibal House” at the age of 13 with his mother’s video camera and his school friends.

At the age of 19, he creates a more ambitious movie called “2 nuits” (“2 nights”), during which he learns to write and stage a coherent story with intriguing characters.

In 2012, he crosses a crucial step when he directs “Voies de la hantise” (“The ways of obsessive fear”), his first movie with a professional team. This movie tells the story of his progression in the movie industry, showing a man trying as he struggles to find a producer to read the stories he has written for the big screen.
Though Alexandre had much to learn, the project that he decided to undertake allowed him to grow, not only as a director, but also as a scriptwriter and a cinematographer.

In 2017, the story of his maturing knowledge of the movie industry comes to life (inspired by the works of John Truby, author of “L’anatomie du Scénario” (“Anatomy of the Scenario”), which has since become his favorite bedside book).
He sent “Impie” (“Impious”), his most recent scenario, to the production office “Bat’Art Productions”, run by very talented and motivated young Montpellierains, who accept to produce the movie. It is also the first time that one of his stories has been of interest to professional actors, who collaborate in the filming of the movie.
“Impie” reunites all of the esthetic and cinematic characteristics of the movies that Alexandre was brought up with. We will find, throughout the movie, witchcraft, themes linked to hidden feelings and the darkest side of men, which push us to do our absolute worst …
