Behind the Scenes - The Mare
The Making of the short film "The Mare".
Come take a look behind the scenes at how we managed to build our story last summer - under a tight schedule and with limited resources, making almost all the effects in-camera, using just a little imagination and pure creative force. I’m so happy to have this BTS-film - it really warms my heart and reminds me of everyone’s hard work and how much fun we had together!
To everyone who brought The Mare to life - I’m going to say it again: Thank you for creating with us, for your talent, heart, and belief in this strange little idea. This project lit a fire in me and quite literally changed my brain chemistry forever. I couldn’t have asked for a braver, kinder, or more visionary team to share this ride with. ♥︎
