PLEASE is a short film directed by Anna Mantzaris. It will be a short film of 6-8 minutes, consisting of a collection of scenes that together tells a bigger story. With Anna's previous film ENOUGH as the first film, this is part two of a trilogy of films. It will be independent as a film, but still part of the trilogy exploring capsulated human emotions. In Enough she explored our inner frustrations and stress by letting the characters act on their instincts when they had enough, giving them moments of emotional anarchy. In her next film she will use a similar way of narrating but exploring the themes of neediness, romance and connection.
In the film PLEASE, my role has been to create puppets – everything from building the armatures to sculpting shoes and heads. I’ve also contributed to making some of the props and setting up the sets on set.
In total, around fifty characters have been produced for the film, including two dogs and a horse. The film is a Swedish production, co-produced with partners in France and Prague.
