Hyperstition

A film by Stéphane Chis & Maxime Chuchana

6 min - 2021 - France

Synopsis
Two superstitious persons, two parallel lives and a strange day where one’s little games have the power to change fate. What if it was enough to walk on the tiles without touching the lines to make our wishes come true?

Maxime Chuchana & Stéphane Chis

Maxime and Stéphane met on the benches of an advertising school in Lyon and worked as Art Directors in several advertising agencies. After these experiences, they started directing and producing commercials and fictions. They have been trained to deal with the constraints and challenges of advertising and have formed AFTER 2AM, which stands out for its search for efficiency and its ability to rely on the singularity of each idea to create an original aesthetic.
This duo’s know-how is applied to the entire process, a mastery that guarantees the respect of the author’s vision as well as the client’s at each step of the production.
Their references include SENSAYA x SWAROVSKI, VEOLIA, Renault Trucks, Tomme de Savoie, Rowenta, INTEX.
After working in advertising, they are now working on their first short film, HYPERSTITION, in which they direct Nicolas Marié.
