NEWS: CIALT Goes To London - Official Selection CIFF (Cine International Film Festival
Hello London!!
We’re so proud of our short film CIALT: Caught In A Love Trap, we are an Official Selection for CIFF Cine International Film Festival. You can sign up to get tickets to our UK premiere on May 7th (10:30-12:30).
This is our second acceptance after the World Premier in Hollywood at the Beverly Hills Film Festival and we are so grateful to be selected again! After seeing our small but mighty team work so hard over the last 6 months, it’s gratifying to be recognized at this prestigious film festival with the world premiere of our film at the historic Chinese Theater in Hollywood!
Creating My First Short Film: CIALT
What started as a “small” personal project eventually grew into a short film with over 30 volunteers, 5 Actors, A drone, 4 shoot days, Key Art designed by a 4-time Emmy-winning art director, and a score composed by an award-winning composer. So much for keeping it simple!
It all started on Threads in the sweltering heat of the Madrid summer when I answered a post from Screenwriter Sophie von Rheden looking to connect with directors and filmmakers in Madrid. I entered into the world of video creation through fashion films and music videos and I had been contemplating a personal project to challenge myself with something more narrative-based and slightly more commercial than the more fluid and fast-paced timelines of fashion and music videos.

Part 2 - “On The Run” is our commentary on the paparazzi and street-style images around celebrity and popular culture. The tension between the need for the celebrity circus and the intrusion into personal life spilling into the streets is an uneven, sometimes perilous, balance.

Key Art For Short Film: CIALT
