Every now and then, a story finds you at exactly the right time, and the script for this beautiful Gardaland project landed in my inbox I had the simmering feeling that was happening.
@tess_hamilton82 and
@colinoffland — thank you for jumping in with both feet (even when it meant conference calls on Christmas Eve + Boxing Day) and pushing me until every part of the treatment sparkled.
This project feels like the best kind of full-circle moment after years of working with Sam, Jase, and the brilliant team at
@tbwamcr - the trust that goes both ways made me certain we’d realise the potential of this story. Also, a special mention to our supportive client team, who trusted in the vision for these two characters, celebrating 50 years of Gardaland.
Huge love to
@blindpig_tv ,
@absolute_post , and
@riccomline , who saw exactly what I saw in this film, the character and helped bring him to life like we were building him out of stardust.
And
@christian.heschl_composer , you joined late but somehow stitched your music right into the film’s heart. Couldn’t imagine it without you now.
Thanks to everyone I’ve not had chance to mention. So proud of this one. Hope you love it as much as we loved making it. 🌟
