Basel

Till and Anya in Basel, they have made fire their profession.

Paris

Paris was the cross road for few of the LoveTrips characters. Matt and Ines are not french nevertheless they met there because Ines is a choreographer and doing a residency in the city.
Cyril and Amandine are both from Paris, but only Cyril travels to keep his love alive. Amandine told us the story of how the distance at one point was simply too much...

Many stories spring from love and especially from hindered love. As times goes, and filming proceeds, these stories start weaving the film together.

Lisbon

Lisbon was quite an experience. The heat, the steep roads, the difficulties in finding a place to conduct an interview when you can't interview in a military barrack... but, but the light was special. It might have been the proximity to the Ocean or the autumn at the door... who knows. What I know is that I'm being lucky as all the people that I meet are as splendid. In Lisbon I met Natalia and Pedro together for the few intense days that a long distance relationships allows. I met also Ricardo, longing for a day that will eventually come when he'll live with his Hannah.

Here are some more frames from the footage:

EasyJet Inflight Magazine - September issue

If you happen to fly EasyJet in September you'll notice the following LoveTrip add on page 35. It's one more call for entries for the project. More than 50 couples have already registered but we're looking at covering most of the European countries in Europe, thus we need more couples registering.

Zagreb

Kyril and Miljenka were in a long distance relationship for a long time, commuting between France and Croatia, until recently when Kyril made Zagreb is home.

This time part of the journey was made by car, courtesy of Gregor. Here we are just before Beograd, on our way to Sofia. Unfortunately we never made it to Bulgaria as in the meantime we got the news that the couple from there had split up. Sadly enough it has been happening quite a lot among the registered couples. We "lost" another contact in Slovenia on the same trip too, but this time because the ones involved decided to go and live together in the same country, in Spain.

Madrid

Beby (Antonio) is in a Long Distance Relationship with Carmen-Julia, thus in June I was in Madrid. Carmen-Julia not only generously hosted me but she also put up with the shuffling around of the furniture to set up the interview.

South of Italy

In May I was in the south of Italy to shoot the interviews and portrays of Beby (Antonio) and Giacomo.
Here are some pictures.

On the shore filming "Beby" after one of his favorite past time: taking pictures, of the see. And this picture is courtesy of him.

Here are two frame grabs from that session.

Giacomo on the other hand loves running, thus we had to improvise something to get tracking shots of him.

And some more from Giacomo's shoot.

Welcome to the blog!

The shooting has begun!

From now on you'll be able to follow the coming traveling on this Blog.
