RED SHOES by Susanne Gressmann

[Horncastle]

Greetings to all.

Having lurked here for a while, this is my first post and "Red Shoes" will be the first film that Susanne and I have made. The plot is a fairly simple "race against time" in keeping with our "beginner's status". Our aim is to learn something (we've actually been working on the script and pre-production for about four weeks now and have already learnt a lot) while avoiding making fools of ourselves.

The film will be in German with English subtitles.

Thanks Mark, we will do our best.

[Susanne G.]

I am Susanne from Germany and the writer/director of "Red Shoes". This is my first project and I hope it will come out decently. Jason and I are making this together. Since English is not my mother language, I am leaving most of the communication on the forum to him.

I hope that all members have a great time making their films. Good luck to everyone.
