What if a meeting at a bar could catapult you into the world of filmmaking?

In this episode, host Cindy Claes has a chat with her co-producer Gian Bonnicchi, where they share the exhilarating journey of how their short film "All Dogs Go to Heaven" was made in just three days!

Together they affronted unexpected production hurdles. This was Cindy's first step into the world of "making film". An innocent project of 5 people grew into a team of almost 30 in a matter of days. Neither of them expected such a turn-out when registering for a short film challenge organised by Bigoli Studios in Barcelona.

Cindy's dear friend and collaborator, Gian, is an accomplished actor, screenwriter, and producer with a vibrant artistic background spanning across Italy, Miami, and now Barcelona.

They recount the humorous yet stressful moments that defined the experience, from writing the script on set, to finding a script supervisor, to loosing their filming location at the last minute. After the chaos... a 10min dystopian sci-fi was born and is now starting festival season!

This episode isn't just about the film; it's about personal growth, the power of collaboration, and the sense of empowerment that comes from finding your true creative potential and leadership within.
