BTS from that time @lookmumnocomputer and @johnnygoddard asked me and @meggabo to design a soooper low budget but sooper dooper fun music video for @bbceurovision that was put together by our friends Ben, Alex and Mack @arunningcommentary_ and shot by the wonderful @louis_brennan_dop we pre-built the set in our hallway at home 😂 and strapped ironing boards to Sam’s mini so he could fly to Vienna @hack_modular and @thismuseumisnotobsolete were awesome and helped make the set look great but MVP was Max @thedoghoues holding the tiny art department together. Sam’s sister Jodie @bartle_5 even decorated the set with @wrexhamafcwomen ‘s trophy after they won the Welsh league! Take a look at the finished video, ‘eins zwei drei eurovision’ https://share.google/oapug03QbPn9rIwcX

We’re proud to share the trailer for TO THE LIGHTS, a psychological thriller sci-fi, directed by Julien Zenier. ⁠ ⁠ Ten years ago, while travelling through Louisiana and Tennessee, Julien photographed strangers for a project titled Sacred.

Festival premieres to be announced.⁠ ⁠ Starring @franciscortiz_ & @alexbrende ⁠ Written by @foyemorgan Directed by @julien.zenier ⁠ Produced by @reginakhanipova , Pete Connor, @arunningcommentary_ (@parkinben + @alex_bedford__ ) ⁠ Cinematography by @rogerllonch ⁠ Production Design by Camilla Urquijo, @guerrero_kamikaze ⁠ Edited by @julien.zenier ⁠ Music by @dougpiranhaha

Played out through Roman’s inner consciousness, the film moves like memory itself - and is told in a fragmented, fluid, and deeply emotional way, seen here in a few scene selects and stills. ⁠ Born from Julien Zenier’s ten year journey photographing strangers across Louisiana and Tennessee, and adapted for the screen by Morgan Foye.⁠ ⁠ Logline: An other-worldly threat forces Roman, a Priest, to confront silence, resentment, and the possibility of forgiveness before he is taken to The Lights.⁠ ⁠ Link in bio. Festival premieres to be announced.⁠ ⁠ Starring @franciscortiz_ & @alexbrende ⁠ Written by @foyemorgan Directed by @julien.zenier ⁠ Produced by @reginakhanipova , Pete Connor, @arunningcommentary_ ⁠(@parkinben + @alex_bedford__ ) ⁠ Cinematography by @rogerllonch ⁠ Production Design by Camilla Urquijo, @guerrero_kamikaze ⁠ Edited by @julien.zenier ⁠ Music by @dougpiranhaha

At its core, To The Lights is a psychological thriller is about family: invisible bonds, unspoken wounds, and the quiet hope of reconciliation. Roman’s journey reveals how silence and resentment shape lives, and how forgiveness can quietly reshape them.⁠ ⁠ Inspired by Director Julien Zenier’s photography project Sacred, originally conceived as a feature and later adapted into a short by Morgan Foye.⁠ ⁠ Logline: An other-worldly threat forces Roman, a Priest, to confront silence, resentment, and the possibility of forgiveness before he is taken to The Lights.⁠ ⁠ Link in bio. Festival premieres to be announced.⁠ ⁠ Starring @franciscortiz_ & @alexbrende ⁠ Written by @foyemorgan Directed by @julien.zenier ⁠ Produced by @reginakhanipova , Pete Connor, @arunningcommentary_ (@parkinben + @alex_bedford__ ) ⁠ Cinematography by @rogerllonch ⁠ Production Design by Camilla Urquijo, @guerrero_kamikaze ⁠ Edited by @julien.zenier ⁠ Music by @dougpiranhaha Poster Design by @amelietingsnas
