01 Dec 2009 My idea for this project Rocky & Lulu, live on opposite sides of the planet, in different cultures. Rocky lives in Berlin and Lulu is from a small town in Mexico. Both have unhappy lives at home, but in the virtual world, and in the eyes of each other, they can be whoever they wish to be.

We will witness the differences between these two lives, - both in the virtual and the real worlds: Lulu and Rocky's daily life on the one hand, the parallel world they create for each other on the other.

The world they create for each other is based on video diaries, photomontages with secret confessions, fictional representations of facts in their lives made with toys, musical scenes, karaoke playbacks for spoof pop-promos and more. All of these are cinematic devices that they use in a very playful way. The world they create for each other is a film world. This film world is fun and inspiring, sometimes quite intimate, but always playful. It is a place where they can be truly themselves, truly free.

As their relationship blossoms they will each wonder: How close can you be to a someone who lives across the planet? Can you really know someone, if you only communicate virtually?

I really like your idea of the contrast between their real lives and the parallel world they create which is free and playful. Very cinematic, I love it. Very curious to see the end result!

While reading your idea I got realy enthousiastic! Sounds like it fits perfectly in this Cinema Reloaded project. I trust you put my one (for now) coin to good use :-) Looking forward to see your project go into production, as I'm sure it will find the necessary funds!
