DONE ON CANAL BRASIL
Brazilian TV channel Canal Brasil picked Sydney Film School short drama ‘Done’ to screen in their program in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
‘Done’ was made in Sydney Film School in the second half of 2008 as a Part 2 Major Drama project and earned its director Andrea Brandao the Chairman’s Award in recognition of outstanding vision and achievement in filmmaking.
Described as delicate, sensitive and inspiring the 11 minutes long film about the process, feelings and consequences of bringing imagination to life follows Simon, an average man who struggles to find inspiration to express himself, and Jack, a little boy replete of imagination and determination, who aims for attention.
With a crew of 22 people, 3 actors, 2 animals, 6 shooting days and 3 locations (mountains, beach and city) Andrea and her team managed to create a captivating and contemplative drama about life, death, creativity, time, fear and relationship.
“What I wanted to show when I wrote this script was the search for fulfillment of an ordinary man” says Andrea. Simon’s story reveals “how the creative process and an achievement can be so self consuming and intense, but at the same time valuable and worthwhile as life can not be without it.”
The quality of the film was recognised by the Vancouver International Film Festival (the largest cultural event in Canada) where the film screened in October 2009 alongside feature and short films from all around the word.
At the end of last year the national Brazilian TV channel TV Cultura showed ‘Done’ in a program called Zoom (a program about independent filmmaking and short films directed by Brazilian artists).
Shortly after, Andrea was approached by another national TV channel Canal Brasil wanting to buy rights to screen Done 24 times in the next 3 years. The first screenings took place on October 17th and 18th this year.
