Marta Pozzan Steps Behind the Camera to Direct Dark Comedy ‘Down to Die’
Marta Pozzan is taking on a new creative challenge and is going behind the camera to make her directorial debut with the dark comedy ‘Down to Die’.
Now as an actor, Pozzan has become director and is making her first film directorial debut as a director (and a new project).
‘Down to Die’ is a dark comedy, a genre that often uses humour to examine uncomfortable, serious or rather unexpected subjects.
So the film will not be just going to rely on traditional comedy, but will aim to find its tone in the tension between situations that will be emotionally wrenching and situations that are really funny.
Pozzan’s move into directing is a very important new chapter in her career. She’s done so because of the fact she’s seen her film from the standpoint of the camera and now she’ll be able to have a lot more creative input into the film.
And as director she’ll have to translate all the screenplay and its characters into a working visual experience.
The project also reflects a growing trend in the entertainment industry, with actors increasingly moving into filmmaking roles behind the scenes.
Directing allows performers to bring their understanding of character, performance and storytelling into the filmmaking process.
For Pozzan ‘Down to Die’ is much more than just a setting change on a film set. A project in which she can find her own voice and start to explore a genre that can be great fun but also challenging.
Dark comedies are so dependent on the timing, atmosphere and character development that it is really important to the director.
Details of the film’s full cast, production schedule and release date will surely provide further interest as the project moves forward.
Pozzan’s acting background and her new role as director will give the film a distinct creative identity in terms of the film to help it.
The news comes as more and more people are looking for movies that aren’t so conventional.
Dark comedy can tackle difficult themes but at the same time remain funny so you can take you to a new place as a movie director.
Pozzan’s transition to directing may be a new stage in her career. She’s also trained as a dancer and an actor and so could have a lot to offer when working with actors whether it’s to create complicated characters, or balance dramatic scenes with comedy.
Marta Pozzan is getting ready to go there again to see filmmaking from the other side of the camera.
That project will allow her to combine what she knows as an actor with what she knows as a filmmaker, and give people a reason to follow her career on a very different path.
