      Murder of doubt (short) completed, screened at festivals.
      In development Murder of Doubt (Feature)
      By using moving cinematic images of ordinary things that happen, action sounds, music and vocal text the audience is distracted and slowly pulled into the story, breaking down logical and intellectual resistance.

      The goal is to create a kind of suspense and at the moment of release, it's possible to place some critical, embarrassing and frustrated remarks and actions, which leads to humor and short laughter.
      During screenings at film festivals, you hear different people laughing at many points in time.
      Every time there is a little joke or laughter, you learn someone about life, you recognize a certain situation.

      There's a contract between the audience and the filmmaker, that everything, which is shown on the screen or being heard has meaning and importance later on and that one can learn non obvious things, so that the effort, which the audience makes by paying attention, is not in vain.
      In the process of filmmaking most people are aware of this rule, but it extends to all forms of art: symphonies, novels, paintings.

      And that's what art is about: learning something new and emotional in an abstract way.

      This film project has grown scene by scene.
      We film a few shots, edit it, show it to friends to find out what works and change what doesn't work.
      Then we start thinking about a new scene. Sometimes we need more shots, sometimes a new scene is needed between other scenes.
      The script is only written scene by scene, often text is written after filming during editing.
      At this moment 50 minutes is edited with all the audio and we have a script for another six scenes.
