Hello...Bonjour!
We want you to know a little bit about us so that YOU can partner with US in making this film and in making history!
WHO ARE WE?
| Marie Roux: | Actor, Writer, Producer Owner MRfeatures |
| Nathalie Camidebach: | Director, Producer |
Our collaboration created the international success of REMEMBER THE EYES and INNOCENCE REMAINS. We have a very talented team of award-winning filmmakers, who have worked together on several features and who believe in the importance of our project. But today we need you to take our team and vision to the next level: a feature film. We’ve proven we have the dedication and commitment to tell compelling stories with high production value – the only difference now is budget. Help us make the difference!
OUR PROJECT
We are raising money to help fund I LEAVE HERE, a feature-length film based on Marie Roux personal’s journey. The script is co-written by Roux and award-winning screenwriter Jennifer Deaton, who has served as a Story Analyst for A-list Hollywood talent for over ten years and who is currently the sole Los Angeles Story Analyst for Focus Features.
I LEAVE HERE will be shot in Los Angeles, California - as well as in the Aquitaine Region of France (if budget allows) - in Summer/Fall 2011.
I LEAVE HERE is a thought-provoking and unique love story, following two remarkable women – Chloe is French, Emma is American – who build a life together in the States. That life is jeopardized when Chloe’s visa is denied.
Until the U.S. legislature passes The Uniting American Families Act or gives gays some version of federal marriage rights, one of these women will be forced to make a profound sacrifice in order for them to be together – giving up family and career in order to be reunited.
I LEAVE HERE is not a political film, but a romance in which the lovers are driven apart by political forces. After the tremendous success of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN and MILK, it is time now for our story.
But our film’s reach also goes beyond this demographic in exploring universally relatable conceptions of home, duty, and destiny. Home is not only where the heart is but also where one’s calling lies. When equally sacred values are in conflict, how does one choose between them?
OUR MISSION
We believe that Art shapes the world we live in.
Our medium is FILMMAKING.
While embracing the rhythm of images, the poetry of words, the sound of music, the heart of Acting, we can and will make a difference. Because ART MATTERS.
We are committed to use our talents to inspire others and to illuminate the truth and beauty of the human journey.
