BROKEN HEART LOVE AFFAIR, Toronto / MADEGOOD / 2022
Overview
Credits
Write a short summary of what happens in the film.
In this film, five young kids confront the the biggest problems with the planet, and brainstorm ways to solve them. They're triggered by seeing a news story about the UN's Climate Report signalling a code red for humanity, and then decide to start to by trying to come up with ideas to solve the hunger crisis. We follow them throughout their day as they try desperately to find creative ways out of the situation we're in. As the day continues, we can feel them getting more and more defeated. We end with a CTA asking people to help them "Un-Wreck the Future".
Cultural / Context information for the jury
This work was released a week after the UN released a climate report declaring a "code red for humanity."
Tell the jury about the casting process.
To cast this film, we did several rounds of individual casting sessions. After we had a large talented group of individual performers, we needed to make sure our talent had chemistry together. We then group our talent together in several different team casting sessions and let them run through the script together and improvise. When we had a great group that worked, the director brought them to an amusement park to run through the script and get to know each other a bit. This helped ensure we had a cast that felt comfortable together and allowed them to build strong relationships before filming.
