So after a very busy couple of weeks editing, We Need to Talk has been completed and uploaded to the Cannes Short Film Corner – with 24 hours to go. Just found out that it has been accepted so we will be heading out there in May!
Patrick Mohan composed a brilliant score for the film in very little time.
Some stills from the finished edit:
I spent an afternoon drawing, scanning and animating the handwritten titles.
Pretty happy with the end result. For an experimental short turned around so quickly, I think it works. Will be posting it on the site soon so can get your feedback. Thanks again to everyone who worked on it!
