In Between Days R: So Yong Kim Land: USA/Kanada 2006 Drehformat: MiniDV Format: HD, Farbe Länge: 82 Minuten Sprache: Koreanisch, Englisch mehr Informationen

Aimie, ein vor kurzem aus Korea immigrierter Teenager, hat sich in ihren besten und einzigen Freund Tran verliebt. Sie versucht ihm ihre Gefühle zu vermitteln, hat aber zugleich Angst, dadurch ihre gemein­same Freundschaft zu gefährden. Die ohnehin heikle Situation zwi­schen den beiden wird zusätzlich belastet durch die Herausforde­rungen, die das Leben in dem fremden Land an Aimie stellt. "In Between Days" ist einer jener unverwechselbaren Filme, die einen bereichern, aber zugleich etwas melancholisch zurücklassen. Der Film ist Liebesgeschichte und neorealistische Darstellung einer Assimila­tion in einem. Er beschäftigt sich mit Themen wie Intimität, Kommu­nikation und menschlichen Bedürfnissen." Trevor Groth [aus dem Forumprogramm]

How would you describe the aesthetics of your film?
In between days has a minimal aesthetics.

Why did you choose to shoot on a digital format (was it solely for financial reasons, or did aesthetics play a role)?
It startet from financial reasons but we try to make the best of whatever resources that was available. With video it is much more difficult to make a scene look good so you have to be much more cautious about lighting, etc.

What was special about shooting digital (e.g. compared to 35mm, was it your first time with dv or are you used to it ..)?
We shot Brad Gray's first feature Salt, which I produced, on DV also. This is our second feature on DV. DV's strenghts are many: small crew, intimacy with cast, cheap, accessibility.. to name a few. But as a filmmaker, it's your duty to use its capabilities to the maximum and have technology serve your vision.

Which format exactly did you choose (MiniDV, DVCAM, HDV, HD...), and why?
MiniDV - we shot on Panasonic DVX100A 24p. A friend had a camera he can lend us.

What was your shoot-edit ratio?
60/1
