Premisse
Youthful exuberance and constancy are rewarded.

Logline:
In spite of personal setbacks, a young girl yearns for a long and happy life, and believes this is possible.
Nadia (17) and Sasha (20) are crazy about each other. They live in Kronstadt, a naval base on the island of Kotlin by the St. Petersburg coast. Sasha is a trainee sailor. Because he has been transferred to Vladivostok they will be separated for a long time. After he has left and she loses her mother too, Nadia has to manage all by herself.
As she waits for Sasha, it becomes clear that she is pregnant. Nadia struggles to maintain her autonomy and self-respect while subject to pressure from friends and older persons, none of who believe that Sasha will ever return.

May 2009: casting the principal roles for ' Kronstadt Tale' at the St-Petersburg State Academy of Theatre Arts, St-Petersburg, Russia. We have seen more than 25 actors working.

MOTOR in production spring, shooting period June 2010

MOTOR by Simone Bennett
[http://www.loneproductions.eu ]

Motor is a short film/music piece about how gossip and rumour spreads like a virus.
We follow the secretive behaviour of a group of seven inhabitants of an apartment building. Inside sadness seeps through the walls, while outside fear escalates like burning flames.
