What does being selected for the AND Fund mean to you ? It was really a relief to finally get some support for this film. I have been looking for financers for five years and eventually I had to take a personal loan from a friend to be able to make it. Now I am able to finish it, and actually it’s only the subtitles which are missing now.
Why this topic ? I came to the film world from medicine. Working as a midwife I met single girls that had problems because they had lost their virginity for some reason, and I am very happy that I can now inform others about it. It’s important to make a difference between girls who lost their virginity because of a failed marriage or even a disease and, for example, a prostituted woman.
Why do you think your project was selected ? I think the jury selected the film because they liked my special point of view on the subject. I also think they liked the sound in the rough cut I brought. I was selected for a sound master class at the festival in Pusan.
