Amélie

2001, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet

My first filmed introduction was born of necessity. I was travelling in New Zealand at the time, so I filmed this (unfortunately backlit) video from my hotel balcony and sent it in since I was unable to be there in person. In a way it was the “proof of concept” for what came later. This video also features a “signature cocktail” that was created to accompany each movie, and the trailer for the next month’s film (“The Parallax View”), two features that would eventually go by the wayside.
