KATABASIS.
Let’s look at a TRAILER (as João Silva finally gets a well deserved break from the editing room).
As any Film finishes up, and cast and crew leave its sets or natural scenery, something else starts: editing.
The process of turning thousands of takes into something which makes sense is as important as the process of recording those same takes.
This process, in the dark, and usually hidden from view, is rarely seen, and is truly underappreciated.
In a way, the people who work behind the scenes are rarely seen (ironic, right?).
A Film’s Trailer follows a similar path, as it needs to condense something which you will see soon, but which is still under wraps.
It is a recap but also a riddle.
It needs to create a craving, to entince and excite, but it also needs to keep the mystery and suspense (who did it, who stole it, who made someone turn into a Hobbit, you know the drill).
KATABASIS is starting its Film Festival circuit, and as it travels around the world, João and his team managed to create something truly special to show you, first hand.
Some call it a trailer, we call it a trailblazer.
Stay tuned for KATABASIS, it will be something to talk about.
