This week we focused mainly on the progress of the documentary teaser and the final pitch. And we even did some praying...

On monday, our STL guide Susana asked us to update and send to her our schedule and planning again, which we did. 

On tuesday, we reviewed with Kris all the loglines that we had been working on, and he insisted that we should start as soon as possible with a rough version of a teaser focusing on the emotions.

For Vani’s mentorship, the day after Kris, we already had a first version. After showing it to Vani and Susana we stayed silent for a few minutes to process what we had just shown her. Then we prayed. Then we stayed silent again... We were definitely feeling a bit lost and tired. She said that our first version was “brilliant”, but suggested to keep working on the structure and start the teaser focusing more on the character, to be able to empathize from the begining (suggestion that we took on board for the next versions).

Finally, on friday, we showed the fourth and last version of the teaser (until now) to Shiho, who gave us some really good feedback on it. She liked the circular structure of starting and ending in the garden, for example. But she also pointed out some things that could be improved.

That’s all for this week. Let’s see what happens next…
