ONCE / short film / directed by Andrea Alessi

•

What if a man is made to re-experience his past pains by simply answering a girl's question?

What if his past is about a love story with his brother?

Is he going to be honest with her?

We want to tell a story.

It's a drama about two male brothers, living in their rich, noble, family house. Both are connected by a strong brotherhood.

They love each other. This love is pure, but is as strong as forbidden. It becomes incestuous, the family is not approving it.

They will be divided. What next?

We want to tell it in a different way.

We will ask to the main character a lot of questions, and you will be able to see the answers through the scene. It will be a girl asking, and you will never see her, well, just for a while. In the same way, you will never hear the voice of the main character, except for once.

We want a deeper experience.

As we all know: less is more. In our case, every single element of our project will add flow, value and emotion to the whole short.
So, everything we've been working on in the last months will give birth to a minimal and emotional image. Our final aim is to represent the emotions our actors are feeling generating emotions in the viewer itself.

Colors.

Colors are important. The color palette is that other thing that let you flow through images, or, either way, what keeps you stucked with eyes wide shut in front of the screen. So we picked three different color palettes to diversificate emotions and to have perfect flow with our locations.
