Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section – all feedback is well appreciated.

I proudly present you the short film, titled “Fair trading ?” that was created for the Befair (fair trade) competition.

We currently awaiting the verdict of the jury to see how the first THURISTAR baby did.

I’m proud to write that “850 meters” got the trust and support from the VAF (Flemish Audiovisual Fund). This is the green light we’ve been waiting for and are getting things ready to begin producing the film within the few weeks/month. First thing on the list is an 850 Meters website with a 850 teaser.

A story by Joeri Christiaen.
Co-written by Karim Rhellam and Perrine Gauthier
Directed by Joeri Christiaen
Music by Frederick Segers
Produced by JC BVBA / Thuristar and Annemie Degryse / Lunanime
With the support of the Flemish Audiovisual Fund (VAF)

The “Fair Trading ?” 60-second short film made it to the deadline. It took a lot of energy in a very short amount of time – and even though I would still love to polish it a little further – the result is pretty nice. We’ll find out next week if the BeFair.be jury likes it too.

Another successful collaboration with my favorite composer Frederik Segers (Fre working at my desk, here above), who again created a strong and catchy score that sticks in your head for days once you’ve heard it !

Muchos thanks to Grid-vfx for the much needed technical support and PMG for providing support with their animation tools.

Special thanks to Perrine Gauthier for helping throughout the process!
This on goes for sure on the shelf of shorts that I’m proud of.

I’ll post the movie in a little week, once the winner is announced.
