24 hours in Rio. 1st step Corcovado and its amazing view, then lunch in Copacabana, afternoon walk in Santa Theresa, passing by the Escadaria Selarón, early evening drinks in Lapa and then Tapis Rouge screens at the Swiss Consulate. Live music at night in Ipanema. 3 hours of sleep. 12 caipirinhas. I will never forget that day! – Kantarama Tapis Rouge @ IMDb

May 2015, TAPIS ROUGE wins again at Nador Film Festival in Morocco. In the morning, the organizers tell us we will have a surprise… and at night, how amazing that the Jury gave a BEST ENSEMBLE CAST Award to all the guys, because they couldn’t choose only one best actor! I am so proud of them! Oh and then we also won the Festival Grand Prix. (After the ceremony we were off to a mansion where we had the Closing Party. I have never EVER seen a buffet as large as that one. And I have seen a lot of them. Lobster, mechoui, sushi, couscous, ice cream… name it and they had it! #celebrate) – Kantarama Tapis Rouge @ IMDb

As I sit in the empty room of the Serena Hotel, writing my speech for my first festival as a Marraine I can feel the pressure build. In a few hours all the seats will be taken. More than 900 people, friends and family. I am so proud to be here, honored that TAPIS ROUGE is the opening film. An amazing encounter brought me here… but there’s no coincidence in life, right? My head spins. But for now, let’s finish this paper, barefeet if it helps. Life is a journey. Thank you for being part of it. – Kantarama Tapis Rouge @ IMDb

November 2014, TAPIS ROUGE wins TV5 Monde Best French Language Feature Film Award at Geneva International Film Festival. We were all so nervous for the premiere.

Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for the chills. – Kantarama Tapis Rouge @ IMDb

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
