Baptiste Ménage - Project: Sokolniki

Hi everyone,

I'm Baptiste Ménage, I'm working for Deal Productions as production assistant since Septembre 2018. I mainly deal with projects in development.

Several years ago I made a short film back in south of France from where I am.

I had my own production / rental / actors' training company in France til I remember my aim was always to make films, and not being a CEO. So I left everything I had and took an opportunity to do an Erasmus Entrepreneur in Luxembourg, where I met Alexandra Hoesdorff and Désirée Nosbusch, and stayed here.

I also write a lot (I published a novel 1 year ago) and am both passionate about cinema and literature.

I plan to shoot my short film SOKOLNIKI on the week-end of the 13th and 14th of February.

Logline is: Jonathan (70ish) just died. A young punk girl wakes him up in the afterlife to guide him in the following choice: in a few minute his body will be reanimated, but does that worth it?

My team is composed as follows:

Main actors: Gilbert Johnston and Phoebe Archer

Secondary actors: Bernardo Tuccillo, Kyle Vanderpool

DOP: Chris Poulles

Gaffer: Jo Gutenkauf

1st Assistant Camera: Océane Maitre

Sound engineer: Oliver Lang

Costume designer: Cynthia Hubsch

Shooting will take place in one only apartment (mine).

I am very happy to have this opportunity to create even during these hard times. Also it's a big chance for us to meet each other, and with our teams.

If I can be of any help to you, please feel free to reach me at anytime.

I'am also curious and keen to know more about you guys.

Baptiste.
