TU ES CECI

<p> <strong>Synopsis</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> To satisfy her addiction, a woman kills men to eat them. A miserable everyday life, a frantic quest disrupt by an encounter.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Illustrations_10" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/8756/Illustrations_10.png"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Statement of Intent</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> At first, Tu es ceci depicts a world where everything is a battle of will. The dependancy over her senses. The woman over her preys. One night, an encounter, one among so many, and everything is turned upside down. Uncannily, she can't kill him, she doesn't have the strength.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Suddenly, the process is broken. Is becoming aware of her dependency mean not to be addict anymore ?</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Illustrations_01" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/8782/Illustrations_01.png"></p> <p>  </p> <p> Between enslavement and loss of innocence, <em>Tu es ceci</em> is about one being becoming free and toughly making up with himself. <em>Tu es ceci</em> wonders about alienation. Through an imaginary addiction based on cannibalism, the film experiments an absolute dependency. In the film, murder and cannibalism are singular symptoms of a transposable mechanism. A metaphor to represent addiction. It's not about showing them on the screen, it's about using their symbolic horror.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>Tu es ceci</em> est un drame où la dévoration est en réalité bien plus intime, car elle a lieu à l'intérieur de soi. Il faut alors tuer la bête, <i>Tuer</i><i> ceci.</i></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Illustrations_02" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/8763/Illustrations_02.png"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Producers' note</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>Tu es ceci</em> will be shoot in march in Paris during 4 nights. 2 nights for the outside and two for the insides. From La Défense to Olympiade, you can see some of our shooting locations in the different photos of this page.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Illustrations_08" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/9033/Illustrations_08.png"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> Our crew already worked with Faustine on her previous short film, <a href="https://vimeo.com/44300021" target="_blank">Transfiguration</a>.

Allocation of funds

<p>  </p> <p> <strong>Before shooting</strong>, we need to create the different elements which will give life to the film universe :</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>- Fashion the costumes</strong></p> <p> <strong>- Create the claws for the main character</strong></p> <p> <strong>- Build a scratchable wall and a sizzle neon light</strong></p> <p> <strong>- Buy the props</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>While shooting</strong>, it consists in having the right tools to create the film the director thinked up and to ensurethe crew's wellbeing, they're going to work 4 nights in a row, of which 2 outside. We already got the camera and sound recorder. The crew is working for free. They allow the film budget to be cut off by 2/3. But we still need you for :</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>- Rent light</strong></p> <p> <strong>- Buy food for a crew of 10 for 4 days</strong></p> <p> <strong>- Rent a utility vehicle</strong></p> <p> <strong>- Cover freight charges</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>After the shooting</strong>, we have to edit, grade and mix the film. We also ned to create the communication medium : posters, press kit, DVD. We own most of the post-production equipment and the crew also accept to work for free. But we still have to fund :</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>- Print posters and press kit</strong></p> <p> <strong>- Pay shipping fees and submission fees for festivals</strong></p> <p> <strong>- Create video medium (HDcam, DCP)</strong></p> <p> <strong>- Make a film premier in a theater</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Finally the cost inherent to this fund raising :</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>- KisskissBankBank's commission</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> We'll spend every penny of your contribution on making the film as good as possible, and keep you in the loop about where we're up to.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Director</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Faustine" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/8761/Faustine.png"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Faustine de Bock</strong>, 26, graduated with a Cinema Degree from Paris Sorbonne University and an Editing Degree from ESEC (a cinema school in Paris).
