Here they are in some stills from a short film project dreamed up by Gina East, Elsa's mother. Gina is a director of sorts, but this project is her gift to her daughter. Theo and Elsa are like souls who knew each other in another life--then were lucky enough to meet again at Canyon School this time around. They have grown apart since they have gone to different schools. But Elsa is still Theo's favorite person in the world. She makes him happy.
Here we have Hansel and Gretel--after they killed the witch and escaped--looking for their father.
The film is set in 1930s era Los Angeles--during the first depression-- when the evil stepmother convinces the father to lose his children so they will have enough money to survive. These stills were shot at Hightower, the amazing neighborhood across the hill from us featured in so many famous films, like The Long Road Goodbye. Gina is aiming for a silent film look.
Isn't it cool?
Look for it on the children's film festival circuit! 2010!
