Fall 2024
My role as “mentor” for these two AFI Graduate students recently came to an end because, after a year of hard work, they locked picture. We talked about Emotion, Pace, Rhythm, Montage, telling story without dialogue and in the meantime forged a friendship.
Take a look at the trailer that Lu made and keep an eye out for AZUL on the festival circuit in 2025.
Congratulations Team Azul, see you at AFI Fest.
