End Of The Real

Bill Tyler is an editor-in-chief who works with two assistants in a small, independent production company. Bill is a professional, Bill has experience, but Bill has got a problem ... he cannot distinguish between the  reality that creates for the screen and the one he lives in everyday life. His dilemma becomes an obsession that consumes him and, at some point, he begins editing his own life ...

The screenplay written by Andy was so developed that I could start to work as soon as I had it. Now,I feel I could have spent more time working with the actors, developing the relationship between Tyler and his colleagues. The weather was not so much, and after a couple of days of rehearsals, we started shooting. Within a week most of the film was shot and we could concentrate on Tyler's most difficult scenes.
I took a lot of time for editing, because I was busy with other projects and had to split my time between editing and dubbing. The editing was certainly important, and I spent ten days trying to harmonize the content and the shape of the central part of the film.
Although sometimes I felt uncomfortable, like the protagonist, and although I was heard pronouncing some phrases of his dialogue, I've never doubted the value of the project and I am happy with the result (Tony Combes).
