10 Directors, 1 Location, 1 DoP, 2 Days, each with two hour time slot shooting.
A constant supply of candy.
We created the Directors Playground.
The brief was to take and use what we had at our disposal, and answer one question - what is candy for you?
We called up a casting agency who provided us with a random selection of Actors and Actresses from every age.
We had a limited amount of props and set decoration.
Each director decided what part of each location was best for their film.
From all the above, they had to pick and choose what they would need and write an idea around it. Our intention was to show the variety of one place from a range of creative perspectives, different script ideas and genres.
We brought in a powerful team who were willing to help.
Three weeks of preparation and more than 70 calls later we started this crazy venture.
All this, of course, under strict corona conditions. We created a project with multilayered complexity and several coherent overlaps.
This is CNDY!
choose your favorite candy!
