“Soft Floating in the Field of Spheres” Directed by Peter Korday
Produced and starred by Kristina Lorent Goztola
Your feature film currently being shot has a strong story. The theme of the script was your idea. How did it come about?
Although the story is not based on personal experience, it was inspired by a recent family tragedy. We all get to that point where we stop for a while and take stock of our life.
How is the relationship with your team?
I’m shooting with a small team, in a family atmosphere, and this is very good now. Such deep monologues , intimate female feelings must be displayed, so it is especially good to work with a familiar and reassuring team on the set. We are over nearly fifty percent of the shooting but I already feel , that it will be difficult to leave Rebecca’s figure behind me.
How would you define your personal experience with cinema as a producer?
In my previous works, I mainly focused on success, on making what I do like as many people as possible. Recently, it’s getting more important for film to be a means of expression for me.
Can you tell us any difficulties you had during the filming?
The style of the film is drama fantasy. While writing the script, we changed the location of the story many times. We couldn’t decide in which country the story should take place. Moreover I imagined that this film could only be directed by a woman, the story is so feminine. Then during its preparation this idea of mine changed.
How has the process of creating the character been?
Since I’m also the screenwriter of the film, the constraction of Rebecca’s character began already during the writing. It’s s completely different situation than when, as an actress, you take a still virgin script into your hands. But I have to say that Rebecca’s figure changed a bit still at the very last moment. By the last minute I mean the dress rehearsal. Props and costumes are important to an actor/actress.. Yes, a good costume adds a lot to the actor’s work.
What is life like for an actress and producer in France?
France entered my career in 2015, when I was invited to play the leading role in a drama of Matei Visniec. Before that I only acted in English- language productions, so that year became a milestone in my life. There are certainly no coincidences, since our first independent production was also born in Paris, in French language.
I like working with French team, because they are reliable and hardworking and the actors are excellent.
What was the most valuable thing you learned during your career?
Love your work, find joy in it and don’t chase success - this is my ars poetic, but of course we are not the same, others may think differently.
What are your expectations for the film when it is released?
I would like the film to reach as many people as possible and I hope it will touch many of them.
Can you tell us something about your next job?
We have just finished our next script with Peter Korday. “Des huîtres dans la baignoire”. It’s a comedy, and although we still have a lot of pre production work to do, I’m looking forward to shooting it.
