Orders

This short film has taken me a long time: I wrote it back in 2010 and I've finally completed it in 2020. Now it's time to release the beast into the wild.
Why did I make this film? I wrote "Orders" to get the audience to ask themselves the same questions I asked myself when I read about the real events it relates. Questions like "How can things like this happen?", for which there is no clear answer.
I made this film on my own, except for the voice acting. I don’t consider myself an animator, but the only alternative to undertaking this project on my own was not to do it at all. I'm absolutely useless when it comes to seeking funding, so the budget for this project was zero. I could neither afford to hire anyone nor did I want to: I would have hated to have a team working for free, propagating the vicious circle of precariousness. I hope to be able to fund future projects where people can get paid what they deserve, and I look forward to being able to work with a team of people who are good at their jobs instead of having to do everything myself slowly and badly. But, as I said before, if there was one thing I was sure of from the beginning it was that any alternative was better than abandoning the project altogether. I've stubbornly forced this film into existence.
