Polish helmer Agnieszka Smoczyńska fought for Tamara Lawrance to be a part of “The Silent Twins,” she said at“We had two options: [hire] one actress who plays both characters, but there is no chemistry, or find actual twins, which was not possible. We had Letitia Wright, who was this amazing actress and ‘Black Panther’ star, and then we found Tamara,” she said.
Smoczyńska opened up about difficult choices and her career during an exclusive masterclass for 10 young filmmakers selected for EFP’s Future Frames – Generation Next of European Cinema. “She really fought for me. When they asked me to cut one scene with a fishtail, arguing it was ‘ugly,’ she said: ‘It sets the tone of the film. You can’t do it, otherwise it will be ordinary and obvious.’ It was my first time, so otherwise, I would probably compromise. But you really can’t do that.”
“It’s changing now because of the streaming platforms and young people watching subtitled content, but for the U.S. industry it used to be crucial that a director, or a DP, makes English-language movies. Today, big companies invest in international projects. Start by making films based on the stories only you can tell,” she said, revealing her personal connections to “The Lure.”
“In Europe, it’s good to have co-productions. It’s better for arthouse films, especially nowadays. On this sci-fi film, based somewhere in the future, we will have Greece, France and Poland on board,” she said. New Europe Film Sales is handling sales.
