Since Duo
was voted best short screenplay
in its NYU production
class. It has received
a lot of attention from
students, faculty members,
and top industry professionals
from ICM, William Morris,
etc... Alexandre Ginnsz
received the "Warner
Bros. Pictures Film Production
Award" and the
"Martin Scorsese
Post-Production Award"
to support the production
and completion of Duo.
Duo
is the type of program
that any télévision station
is looking for. Alexandre
has already contacted
Canal+, in France, and
Crystal Sky Communications,
in Los Angeles. They all
showed great interest
in thé film, and are currently
waiting for a video copy
of it. Other potential
buyers in Europe include
TF1, France 2, France
3 (in France), Arte (in
France and Germany), Première
(in Germany) and Channel
4 (in thé United Kingdom).
In thé United States,
thé film could be shown
on cable stations such
as Bravo or thé Independent
Channel, or as an "after
school special" on
PBS.
To
help this release, as
well as a possible theatrical
release, Duo will be submitted
to several international
film festivals such as
Sundance, Venice, Cannes,
Berlin, London, or any
other event where it can
be seen by distributors,
TV stations, thé press,
and thé public.
Given
the combination of
Jon Furmanski's breathtaking
cinematography, Irène
Ginnsz's brilliant
musical performance,
a unique cast, and
a very moving and
original story, Duo
is an entertaining
film with an important
message. There is
no doubt it will
reach a very wide
and diverse audience.
