This film is inspired by Leonard Cohen’s famous quote: “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in”. An old, wise filmmaker takes us through the intricacies of working with analog film: the corn, light leaks and the imperfect yet inherently beautiful developing process. With short glimpses of unique characters, shot entirely on analog film, this piece celebrates the beauty in ugliness, the cracks in our personalities and the quirks of humankind while connecting it to the iconic, flawed look of analog film. // License footage from this project on Filmsupply // https://filmsupply.sjv.io/TheCrack Director: Marko Roth DoP: Adrian Kuchenreuther Producer: Tobias Bucher Production Company: Friends & Fellows Edit & Sounddesign: David Herbst Copywriter: Vicky Jacob-Ebbinghaus Colorist: Marina Starke Composer: Jakob Balogh Set-Design: Franzi Ganzer 1st AC: David Herbst 2nd AC: Tommy Rentschler Gaffer: Flo Dobner Best Boy: Tristan von Seherr-Thoss Executive Sound Engineer: Arne Totz PA: Lena Kaeß PA: Mariana Bernlochner Hair & Make-Up: Fritzi Feldmann Costume: Laura Fries Additional footage: Moritz Dehler, Marko Roth Still photography: Linda Ambrosius Cast// Filmdeveloper: Pik-Sen Lim Punk singer: Jade Angelique Butcher Farmer: Vernon Coles Convertible driver: Tobias Bucher Shot on: Aaton XTR 16mm, Bolex D8L 8mm, Arri Alexa Mini Special thanks to: Moritz Dehler, Johannes Schmidt, Aline Mayerhoffer, Josua Stäbler, Vantage Film, Kodak and FGV-Schmidle.
