Director’s Statement

     What would happen if, like endangered species or artic snow, the art of making music was about to disappear? How would music creators react?  How would musicians respond?  What would be our take on this nightmare?

     With Apocalypse Notes, I wanted to share a few things about art, through the eyes and the souls, of two young people, full of dreams and not accustomed to deadlines, in a real or metaphorical way.  

     The word "enthusiasm" comes from the Greek phrase, En Theo (with God), meaning that creation is close to faith.  Jeanne and Thomas are in love because they share common values.  They want to express themselves in their own ways.  When they suddenly face a harsh reality, their bond makes them stronger.  Jeanne finds a way to comfort Thomas and Thomas is open just enough to let himself be comforted by Jeanne...

     Of course, there's also in this film, some hints about the difficulties of young artists, including musicians, but also novelists, or painters, in a digital world, where the public sometimes thinks art must remain free expression... Apocalypse Notes is also a reflection of the danger of taking the hard way, being, your own creative and free-spirit personality...

MARILYNE FONTAINE


In France, Marilyne had roles in five feature films, including Un enfant de toi (A child from you), from
veteran filmmaker, Jacques Doillon. She won the best
promising actress for her role at the Roma Film Festival in Italy, an award given to her by Viggo Mortensen. She has graced the stage in 16 theater plays, including some by Oscar Wilde, Eugene Ionesco, and Anton Tchekhov, and was commissioned by the national French organization, Emergence, (similar to Sundance) as one of the top eight actresses of the year.

sTANISLAS ROQUETTE


Stanislas ROQUETTE (Thomas) is an actor and stage
director.  Among his productions are Dom Juan,
(Molière), and Ode maritime (Fernando Pessoa).  In
2012, he was nominated among the best new theater
actors by the French guild of critics.  He has played for
the greatest French metteurs-en-scènes (literally "scene-setter").  His own plays have traveled in Russia, Germany, Switzerland, China, and of course the famous Festival d’Avignon.  A frequent actor/reader for national french radios, such as France Culture.  His cinema career is on the rise being in several shorts including Radio Moon by Pierre Gaffié and some parts in TV series. Since 2018, he’s a member of the Maison des arts du lac Léman (in the French Alps) where he writes, acts, and directs.
