August 2014, MSC invites me to teach screenwriting to Malaysian film professionals : WRITING FOR TV AND WEB Workshop. It’s the first time that I am teaching… and one of my students has already signed for 12 seasons of his project with Nickelodeon! Feedback sessions are intense. In the end we learn that hard work, perseverance and networking are key. Many thanks to the organizers and the students for an empowering experience! – Kantarama

May 2014, color correction time. Our colorist Rodney Musso creates magic: he smoothens the transitions and gives TAPIS ROUGE its own unique look and feel that perfectly conveys the emotions and the journey from North to South. Meanwhile I fall in love with the process. – Kantarama Tapis Rouge @ IMDb

May 2014, sound mix at Studio Masé for TAPIS ROUGE, thank you Denis Séchaud. I read once that “hearing is the sense that most deeply stirs our emotions” & that “sound stands in a much closer connection with pure sensation than any of the other arts.” Hence tweaking and listening! – Kantarama Tapis Rouge @ IMDb

January 2014, we start editing TAPIS ROUGE. The editing creates the flow and energy in the scenes and builds the scenes into sequences. This is the “third writing” of the film. We face a big challenge watching long hours of footage and intense scenes. Many thanks to our editors Dorian Tabone and Gabriel Bonnefoy for your insight and hard work. The journey is not quite finished yet! But I am faithful. – Kantarama Tapis Rouge @ IMDb

In May 2013 we started shooting TAPIS ROUGE (my first feature film as a director). A road movie that took us on a journey from Lausanne to Cannes Film Festival. I am grateful to do what I love most: telling stories and living an adventure every day. A new film is a new challenge, each time. And shooting is the stage that I prefer, because everything is still so fragile, yet – if you’re prepared, if you work hard in harmony with your team, and only with an extra sprinkle of luck – magic can happen suddenly, right before your eyes. We shared so many beautiful and strong moments with the cast and crew of TAPIS TOUGE. Thank you all. And a very special thanks to our Director of Photography: Joseph Areddy and our Location Sound: David Puntener and Olivier Larue. What an amazing experience! – Kantarama Tapis Rouge @ IMDb
