A summer day in a Berlin park holds the whole weight of being trans — the comedy, the tenderness, and the bureaucratic violence.
We are crewing up for All Is Pretty Mad, an independent short film set entirely in Berlin’s Görlitzer Park. The film balances deadpan absurdism with working-class tenderness, moving from God-like aerial views down to intimate, handheld conversations.
Project Details
• Location: Görlitzer Park, Berlin.
• Timing: June 19th & perhaps 20th
• Visual Style: Long takes, shallow depth of field for intimacy, and a warm, golden color palette.
• Soundscape: Dialogue-heavy with crucial ambient park noise and deliberate moments of pure silence.
Camera & Lighting Department
• Gaffer: To help us shape and maximize warm, naturalistic sun-drenched lighting without ever feeling cold.
• Key Grip: For rigging, camera support, and maintaining smooth long takes.
• 1st AC / Focus Puller: Essential for maintaining focus on longer focal lengths with shallow depth of field as characters move through the park.
• 2nd AC: Slate, marking, and media management.
• DIT / Data Wrangler: Offloading and securely backing up footage on location.
Production Department
• Production Coordinator: To manage the logistics of shooting in a busy, active public park.
• Production Assistants: Runners and general support to keep the set moving efficiently.
Art, Wardrobe & Makeup
Characters must feel completely grounded in reality, even during moments of absurd comedy and hostile encounters.
• Hair and Makeup Artist: To maintain naturalistic, sun-kissed looks for the summer setting.
Sound Department
The soundtrack relies on capturing the organic life of the park—distant barbecues, kids, and a vendor’s recurring chant—which serves as a musical motif.
• Boom Operator: To expertly capture crisp dialogue and dynamic environmental sound, as well as dead-silent dramatic cues.
