Interview with Writer/Director Emilie Biason
Congratulations! Why did you make your film?
I´ve had no choice the characters insisted to get out of the paper.
Imagine I’m a member of the audience. Why should I watch this film?
To get away from reality, to get yourself into this dark and fun universe of Two Texas.
How do personal and universal themes work in your film?
Revenge and romantic loves spread out into sentimentalism and frustrations.
How have the script and film evolved over the course of their development?
Once you are shooting you have to deal with the unexpected and also let the actors free in the scene, so that wonderful things can happen. By its final cut the film had changed a few times.
What type of feedback have you received so far?
When the film ends people are always curious to know what would happen with the characters if the film continued. I think it´s a sign that the story caught them.
Has the feedback surprised or challenged your point of view?
Yes, it was my first film, i wrote, directed and acted in it. As an artist i was very vulnerable and under pressure, so when i got positive feedback i got relieved in a way and with more energy to keep going.
What are you looking to achieve by having your film more visible on www.wearemovingstories.com?
I saw that the platform helps to spread information about the women who work in cinema and that´s a great thing. Congratulations! My goal is to showcase Duas Texas and I hope to get some partnership with buyers and distributors of short films.
Who do you need to come on board (producers, sales agents, buyers, distributors, film festival directors, journalists) to amplify this film’s message?
As i said above, distributors, buyers, producers, sale agents, are all welcome to get the film to a bigger audience and also to network for future projects.
What type of impact and/or reception would you like this film to have?
I hope people get into Duas Texas world and have fun like on a good ride.
What’s a key question that will help spark a debate or begin a conversation about this film?
Human beings' violent nature, the hatred that can grow with the rejections, what is the feeling of revenge, where it begins and how it occurs.
Would you like to add anything else?
I would like to add that Duas Texas is an independent film shot without any public finance and it happened thanks to friends and and an amazing crew who embraced the Project and helped make it happen.
What other projects are the key creatives developing or working on now?
I´m working on the Project of making Duas Texas into a webseries and I´m also starting to write a feature film.
