PRODUCTION: Castel Film’s Paunescu Developing First Feature

By Iulia Blaga

{mosimage}BUCHAREST: Vlad Paunescu, the owner and CEO of Castel Film Studios (www.castelfilm.ro), is developing Regina directului /Live Queen, his first feature film as a director. Live Queen won a production grant of 216,551 Euro (942,000 RON) from the National Centre for Cinema (www.cncinema.abt.ro) in November 2011 and is expected to go into production late fall 2012, to take advantage of the gloomy weather, Castel Film Studios marketing manager Bogdan Moncea told FNE.

The script written by Adrian Lustig (Poker) explores the idea that every person who reaches top of his career begins to feel bored with being right all the time and starts repeating the same things people expect of him. The film asks, what can it be worse than loosing your personal life and finally your own identity?

The film, whic is still in the early stages of development, has not yet set its budget. It is still to be determined whether there will be any co-producers. The film will be produced by Păunescu and Castel Film Studios, with the premiere set for 2013.
