Although I was always close to filmmaking it wasn't until I decided to try to set an "imagetrack" (instead of a soundtrack, as I used to do) to a music of mine, that I didn't start to make real cinematic explorations
I used for that the piece "Le Souffleur" as a script and added images.
Short / Fiction
Written & Directed by: Marcel Garbi
Music: "Le Souffleur" by Marcel Garbi

2006 - SD VIDEO - IMDB
On the other side of a shaking door there's a rag doll inside a man's black shoe.
The woman takes him to bed.
Darkness and nightmares. She sends herself a message in morse code.
Next morning, after watering an onion, she starts a loving relationship with him. But suddenly, in a dreamlike state, she feels anger and throws him away.
She leaves him in a narrow corridor and vanishes without trace climbing up the walls.
When she returns home, however, something moves her to bring him back. He's full of thorns now.
Then a healing takes place

There’s a moment in life in which energies must change their course.
This was a feature film project, the second level of a former music-theatre unfinished project of mine. I couldn't make this film but I did an audiovisual treatment with just still photos, texts and sound/music to be able to communicate the idea.
I contacted Mark Rylance and this is what he told me (SEE). This video is not public, so please enter the password "valdemar" to be able to watch it. Madrid 2005.
