2L8 - It's strange, but what isn't strange

Shot with single takes and in sequence, on one roll of super8.
Some minimal editing was done to follow the pace of the song.

Kostas Vozikis (2L8) came to me with the basic idea of a boy , a girl, lost innocence, greed and eventual corruption. After doing some reading about old european folk tales, rights of passage, some necessary daydreaming and continuous listening to the song, there was a storyboard. The filming was done in 2 consecutive days on sub-zero budget but with lots of enthusiasm and generous help from the team and cast.
