I directed my first short movie today. I was so moved by the acting performance of my good friend Gwenola , it almost brought me to tears at some point. I am still shaking with excitement as I’m typing this now.
Here’s a screen capture, raw, untouched, as a preview for your eyes only :) I believe this will be pretty fantastic once it will be edited.

This photoshooting was Simon Bisley’s X-mas present. The concept was based on his comic book (and masterpiece) “Lobo, the last Czarnian” which I grew up being a fan of. Not to mention his work has always been one of my main inspiration through the years. This was my way to show my gratitude and also to thank him for our virtual friendship.
Simon, you’re the Main Man. :)
