a film by Maria Castillejo Carmen, Maëlle Grand Bossi et Elisabeth Silveiro

14 min - 2018 - France

Synopsis
A supermarket at the end of the day. While a few customers are finishing their groceries, a hooded intruder breaks into the store.

Résumé of the Directors
We are three filmmakers of various origins (Spanish, Italian-Swiss and French-Russian) who met while studying cinema in Brussels. Our friendship comes from this common passion and our irrepressible desire to create, to make films. We like to experiment with different formats: radio, documentary, fiction. In a word, we like boldness!
This is how we wrote and directed "The Lost ones", which received the Best Screenplay Award in 2017 at the Grenoble Open Air Short Film Festival.
Although our individual approaches to film are very different and often deal with social issues, we have managed to find a common style, that of comedy drama. This film, pre-purchased by France 2 (Christophe Taudière) and produced by G.R.E.C (a not-for-profit organisation which produces, distributes and accompanies first short films) was selected at the Rhode Island Class A festival. The experience of implementing and realising this film has strengthened our desire to continue making films together.
