I don't talk much about it here, but I've been studying cinema for three years now. Actually, some of my oldest followers may remember the "SOME ORDINARY PEOPLE" series I've done a few years back! My studies are now done, and after a good number of projects (including a feature length movie, starring Roger Moore, where I was camera operator and colorist!), I'm finally on the verge of directing a movie very dear to my heart. I present to you: Julie.
Julie is about a transgender woman, who after years of living as a boy, finally decides to live as what she is inside: a woman. Our story begins as she already began her transition, and decides to live as a woman, full time. She starts by meeting her old best friend, going outside a bit... But life isn't easy on a woman when everybody saw you as a boy for more than twenty years.
I've been working on this project for two years. It took me one year to write it, as I worked closely with many transgender women and men, to write something as close to reality as possible. I'm very happy to say every one who read it as been extremely pleased with how the subject was treated: true to reality, without too much pathos. You will cry, you will laugh, and for most of you, will know a lot more about what it is like to be a transwoman today.
The faculty of medicine of Paris heard about the project and decided to help finance us: indeed, the movie will be used as a starting point for conferences about transidentity in the faculty, as many students don't know enough about the topic, as well as working doctors, who are very often unaware of many facts. The goal is to use this movie worldwide to bring this topic to the media in a positive way, for once, and help people who suffer all over the world.
Here's a picture we've done to test the lighting:
