All that I love

All that I love

 

All that I love
There is a time in everyone's life, those fleeting few years, when we are no longer children but haven't yet crossed the threshold of adulthood. A time full of "first times" - first wine drinking, first disappointment, first rebellion, first love ? A time filled with hopes and dreams.

"All that I love" - is the story of a boy, his family and friends set in the early 1980s.We see the world through Janek's eyes, an eighteen year- old sensitive boy living in a seaside town.
The Big History - manifestations, strikes, imposing of martial law - passes in the background, in the foreground - the passion for life, joy of youth, music, sex, first passionate love - everything that is most beautiful. The clash of idealistic world of youth with the though one of adults. Janek will find out that there is no escape from the adult world. He has to face it all, fight for the girl, family and his future. The visual and music side of the movie creates an illusion of those times. The camera follows characters and presents their emotions from close perspective. The set design and music - hits of Polish punk rock - rebuild the specific atmosphere from thirty years ago and make it possible for a contemporary viewer to understand the world which is gone and people who lived then.

The Big Leap

Wielki skok (The Big Leap) - zdjęcia z planu, fot. Olivia Maria Rus

Three people meet at the top of a skyscrapers. They have the same intention - to commit suicide due to a major financial crisis. The conflict quickly deepens when they discover that they all represent a different conviction about the hereafter: Sarah is the believer, John the atheist and Ben the uncertain agnostic. The only way to find out who’s right is to take The Big Leap...

"Does God exist? It´s an impossible question to answer. Yet, I firmly believe that it is our existential task to do just that. This film is my exploration of that Quest told in an absurd and comic way with great acting, comic dialogue and mesmerizing visual story telling. And all this in a short film! What can I say…it’s very intensive, it’s not very sane and it’s the way I want to make feature films in the future".
Kristoffer Rus

"The Big Leap is an extremly ambitious project – it is made with a vision so far unknown in Polish film production. The whole film is made using green box technology. The actors and parts of the set are real, but the whole space around them is created by computer technology. This space can intimidate with the level of difficulty. As the action takes place on the roof of the skyscraper, we have to create the whole city, that spreads around the building – we are talking about few districts! Kristoffer Rus with help of the director of photography decided to shoot everything using constant, fluent movement of the camera. The image is hypnotizing but on the other hand there is another challenge for the postproduction. There`s no place to hide, no way to rescue, no chance for fixed shots. We wanted to give authors the freedom, they had no limits in adding visual effects and they exploited their possibilities in surprising way.

We have joined the project with great satisfaction. It`s for sure the biggest enterprise that we ever decided to take part in. And what impressed us most, was that all these special effects, ambitious and brave images are only a tool to tell a story, not the aim. I think that „The Big Leap” will be perfect a example of what CGI (computer-generated imagery) can bring into a film".
