"When the DP and I talked about shooting a short in Tokyo, we only had one thing clear: we were going to shoot on film. Then Ana and I started writing the short. ⠀ I think film is the most beautiful format. It’s spellbinding. Every work -whether it’s a short, a feature, a video art piece, or anything else- looks better when it’s shot on film. That´s how I see it. But to me it’s perhaps not so much why we shot on film as why shouldn´t we have. I learnt to shoot with an old 16mm soviet camera in Film School and I got hooked to it from the very first moment I loaded that heavy machine. My first choice has always been film ever since. ⠀ Nevertheless, what I love the most about working with film is how shootings are structured, that particular way crew members have of interacting with each other. There are always budget limitations, which means there’s only a certain amount of film. That forces me and the whole crew to focus on what we’re doing, work hard and be as prepared as we need to effectively capture the action on the first take, if possible. ⠀ When the film is running, there’s tension, there’s adrenaline. At that moment, both crew and talents are bound together by the celluloid, we’re all one, and we know we have to make it right because we never know if we’ll have a second chance; we need to give our 110%, we need to communicate well, trust each other and offer our very best. ⠀ It’s the best feeling in the world." ⠀ Featuring short film INTO THIN AIR today, directed by @ouyer and shot on 35mm by DP @zackspiger in Japan starring @satsukiiazuma and @louisraultwatanabe.
