PRODUCTION: So Far, So Good in Development

By Iulia Blaga

    BUCHAREST: Constantin Popescu (Portrait of a Fighter as a Young Man, Principles of Life) is in the early stages of development with De-aici vă descurcaţi singuri/So Far, So Good (working title), a comedy/road movie on the script that won the first prize at the HBO/TIFF script contest in 2011.

     

    Written by Paul Cioran, the film tells the story of an arrogant newspaper reporter who has to investigate the disappareance of two bodies from the morgue and write the story in two hours, while his wife, who is about to give birth to their first child, keeps calling him.

    The film is produced by Andrei Creţulescu and his new production company, KINOSSEUR (www.kinosseur.ro - site under construction) in co-production with Scharf Film and Alien Film. Liviu Marghidan (Scharf Film) is the co-producer and also the DOP, and Iuliana Tarnoveţchi (Alien Film) is the executive producer.

    The budget is 550,000 euro, with 25% in place, Creţulescu told FNE. The producers are taking the project to several European co-production markets and applying for further development/production funds. Shooting is planned for August-September 2012, on location in Romania, and the premiere is set for summer 2013.

    Creţulescu was an executive producer for HBO between 2008 and 2011, and won an International Emmy for Alexander Nanau's documentary Lumea văzută de Ion B./The World According toIon B. He started KINOSSEUR in July 2011, as a Bucharest-based production company interested in both genre pictures and festival fare, including provocative documentaries.
