SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN
EXPERIMENTAL SHORT FILM
Quarantine Production
Scritto & Diretto: Davide Romeo
Cast: Davide Romeo / Suzanne Debekker
I was on tour with an arena spectacle, a huge musical show, produced in Belgium and sold in Singapore. We stayed in Singapore for three months and played eight times per week, double shows on the weekends and only Wednesday were off.
We were staying at a huge hotel with about 20 levels, I was on floor 13, and right below me was a dear friend of mine, Suzanne Debekker (contemporary dancer of the show), the entire cast was spread out in the entire building and each apartment was exactly the same. My bedroom looked exactly like Suzanne's did, and it was somehow funny that she was sleeping exactly below me. A funny thought came to mind: “what if the two apartments would melt together and when waking up would find myself in the same bed as Susanne's?” It felt like the perfect metaphor for a romantic story. I took pan and paper and started writing Somewhere in Between.
Somewhere in Between is in fact a romantic short film, about a boy and a girl who like each other but have not yet had the courage to make the first move. The film quietly observes they're everyday lives, in their apartment, it shows how they're doing pretty much the same thing, yet, divided by the floor in between, until one night it all changes.
