Lina’s Friends is a project after my own heart: a gripping adventure in an arena that will appeal to the imaginations of the most wonderful target audience there is: children. From the very first concept development by the scriptwriters, I was completely sold, especially with a production company like Eyeworks at the helm, a rock-solid house that stands only for the highest quality.
Lina’s Friends will be a contemporary coming-of-age story with an intriguing magical element. In battling against the age-old adversaries, Lina will also confront the darker forces within herself.
The clash of the historical and contemporary worlds is a rewarding element both in terms of storytelling and visually. It’s an opportunity to create a setting full of fantasy that is, on the one hand, contemporary and straightforward, but is also steeped in a historical and fairytale-like magical realism. The blending of worlds manifests itself in the visual style, camerawork and use of colour. In all humility, my references are a dynamic, contemporary, straightforward visual style like in The White Lotus, BEEF and The Bear mixed with magical elements like in Harry Potter.
A visual style that I will further develop and flesh out in the next phase, in order to create a unique arena and a captivating story with Lina’s Friends that has the potential to make a mark internationally.
