— Lauréline Kuntz: I'm an actress, a writer and a humorist. I was also champion of France of slam (spoken word) in 2007. It was the first time I did a film, I mean cowriting, codirecting and acting! I write for the stage, for theatre of sometimes my chronicles on radio or TV. But a film from A to Z, it was the first time for me. My site: www.laurelinekuntz.com

— Olivier Aufauvre: I'm an editor and motion designer for commercials, short films and documentaries. I'm also the creator and director of the youtube channels, SERIZ, where I talk about tv series. Currently I'm directing an animated short film, which I wrote and is very ambitious. This short film is in production and hopefully is going to be ready for the end of the year. I'm also writing two projects of series.

— Lauréline Kuntz: It's film is based on a true story that happened to me with a patron, that could be a potential sponsor, of my projects. By producing my shows at that time, I needed to meet people that could support financially. And the situations were often ambiguous because I was mostly seen as an actress that wanted money ???? I was a bit naive and didn't see it.

So, I wanted to tell this particular story and I choose a training class on scenario with the French director Emmanuel Mouret. I wanted to write dialogues between the 2 characters based on reality. Then I told the story I wanted to write to the group with a lot of images, a lot of word, it was funny, too much, I was quite red… Everybody was laughing. Tanks to the tips given by Emmanuel, I decided to make a film about a woman who tell his disappointment with a potential sponsor to another potential sponsor, so we can see his reaction and create a new dialogue and a situation.

My agent at that time said to me "you should meet Olivier Aufauvre", he could help with that project… That's what I did and Olivier gave to the short film his knowledge about cinema writing etc… In the script he added images and cut words. That was needed. Even if we assume to have done a film about talking!

— Olivier Aufauvre: The first thing which interested me when I read the Laureline's script was the challenge to shoot a dialogue with 2 people sitting at a table, to put a dialogue on a wide screen without betray the Laureline's words. It was something I've never made before and I wanted to try. Then Laureline played the script for me and I found it way more funny than when I read it. So I was definitely sure that we could make a film of it.

— Olivier Aufauvre & Lauréline Kuntz:

1. We met, read the script, rewrite, rerewrite etc… The scenario is really important here

2. We casted François Rollin, who is a famous actor and Humorist in France, that was a good point, - I Lauréline, worked with him at that time

3. We created a press kit

4. We created the campaign of crowdfunding

5. We meet and persuade the prod, it was really to work with this young and motivated team

6. We met and met with the prod to create the all team, decide the place and talk how to do with a few money (Olivier was always negotiating to try to have the ideal numbers of plans we needed, and he has in mind, to make the perfect movie????)

7. We had only 2 days to shoot the whole film, that means shoot more than 25 shots per day. Thanks to the efficiency of the crew and actors, we made it and we even finished pretty early the last day.

8. The next step was very important and took a long time: the postproduction. With the editor, Delphine Lebeaux, we understood very soon that a cut or a reaction could totally change what the film has to say. So we had to balance each choice to be sure that we wouldn't say the opposite of what we wanted to say. Many times, we made the wrong choices and had to restart from scratch. Lauréline's script have a multiple of meanings, and even meanings which she was not aware and that we found while we edited. Our job was to keep the line of Lauréline's mind. It was a very interesting editing experience.

— Lauréline Kuntz: In the script, the characters are supposed to eat in a gastronomic seashells restaurant but with a rather low budget, and even with the talent of the team who managed to make the meals look like «gourmet food», we used to eat frozen seashells and prawns or cold fish soup and we were supposed to be delighted. After each take François Rollin, my on-screen partner, and me had to spit in a bowl. Each time the next meals of the menu arrived, we were close to break in a laugh. It can be seen it in one scene but it's ok because it can be taken as a reaction to the uncomfortable situation.

— Olivier Aufauvre: For me, the scariest thing was the lack of time… I was always thinking how to do things to save time to have enough time to finish the shooting. After two days, I was mentally exhausted. But happy because I knew that we had good material. The funniest (weirdest ?) moment was when François, the lead actor, came to us with a plastic bottle full of snails that he picked in the castle's garden. He planned to cook them and eat them for dinner! So french!

— Lauréline Kuntz: Create my own series inspired on personal stories that happened to me as an actress, a producer and as a woman generally.

— Olivier Aufauvre: I don't really have what we call a dream. Each time I write a story, I have the ambition to put it on a screen, it's a kind of dream when we think about it.

— Lauréline Kuntz: Barry Lindon, Kunbrick.

— Olivier Aufauvre: The hardest question for me! I would say Psycho. with this film, I learned that we can tell stories in a different way that we are used to make. After that came David Lynch's cinema which opened even wider my approach of movies.

— Lauréline Kuntz: A good script, a good story… not being alone in particular for cinema !

— Olivier Aufauvre: Keep the line!!! Listen the advices but keep in mind where you're going, it's so easy to lose yourself in advices, comments, inputs that people can have on your work. Only you know where you're going and sometimes it is good to say no. If you're working with the good persons, they will understand. If not, maybe you're not working with the good ones…
