Producer Ada Solomon from HiFilm Production (www.hifilm.ro) told FNE that given the relationship developed in producing Negoescu's short films and his extraordinary talent, HiFilm Production wanted to be be at his side for his first feature.
HiFilm is also continuing theit collaboration with the German company Filmallee (www.filmallee.com) and David Lindner who will co-produce the film. Other foreign co-producers are also sought.
The project is not financed yet, but a 40% financing from the Romanian National Centre for Cinema (www.cncinema.abt.ro) is expected. Negoescu told FNE that he wants to shoot in December 2011 and January 2012. The shooting will probably take four weeks. Andrei Butică (Francesca) is the DOP.
Negoescu has just finished writing the script, so has not yet attended any pitching sessions yet. The premiere is loosely projected for autumn 2012 or spring 2013.
Negoescu (age 26) graduated the Bucharest Drama and Film University where he is now teaching. He was nominated for the European Film Awards in 2009, and he had three selections in the Berlinale Shorts (2008, 2009, and 2010). He was also awarded the Grand Prix for Derby at the Bristol festival in 2010 and the Best European Film for Renovation at Vila do Conde.
