By pure luck, we were able to visit the place before and made a proposition to shoot there a movie, before the restoration. The house is goergeous, everything has been kept as in the 60-70s, furnitures, windows, and especially the plenty of retro wallpapers (those will be used for the film credits).</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/19/41/38/24/img_3810.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>By the lack of funds and qualified persons, the film will not be shot on film stock as intended, but we will keep the 1,85 aspect ratio (unlike the fake 2,35 in most of the acutal produced short willing to imitate a &quot;cinema&quot; look...) !</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/19/41/38/24/img_3711.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>For any complementary information, don&#39;t hesitate to contact us, people or companies, everyone is welcome to help :)</p> <p><strong>Contact</strong> : ludovic.cinema@gmail.com (reply under 10 days)</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/19/41/38/24/img_3510.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
