Hi guys!

Im writing this from Sofia, Bulgaria, where i will be staying for the duration of the week working on a Compote collective animated documentary “FATHER”.

The film will be co-produced with Bonobo studio and eyeCATCH. The purpose of this meeting is a chance to have all the people connected with the project meet at one place and kick start the film. The film will be made by 5 authors from three countries and it  will be 15 minutes in length. I already made one post in regards to the project which you can find on the blog. The interesting bit would be how to make a film created by 5 different authors? how to make a 15 minutes short telling a story of 5 different father child relationships? Not easily:), but with Phil Mulloy on the helm of the project im confident it can be done! I will not go into the project related details which im sure will bore everyone except me and a few friends, but will write about the challenges and the solutions of a multicultural cooperation spanning over Germany, Croatia, Bulgaria and the UK.

The main challenge is to derive a script made out of five different interviews which can be made into a film by 5 authors , each animating 3 minutes of the film. The easy solution would be to make an omnibus type of film, with each author animating 3 minutes and then just putting those different bits one after the other into a 15 minute short. That would be the easy thing, but it would not be that interesting. We plan to attempt a film which will not have such a linear structure, but will have an organic blend of all the authors and stories into a mosaic of emotions derived from the father child relationships from the interviews.

Stay tuned for future articles on this, where i will hopefully present the ideas and solutions on these problems and more
