Falling, the movie

"I gave advice when the script was written and I had the chance to see 'the making of' from close-by. It sure is something to see your characters come to life. Fortunately, movie-making is a slow process. You have time to adapt your old mental pictures to the movie scenes. It helps you get rid of the feeling that the director is running off with your dream."
Anne Provoost in Libelle.
