This tandem unitary event, which goes back especially to the meeting between Lea and Paul with expressions of support, will moreover be special in more ways than one, as it will be personally led by Astrid Veyon, who will thus pass behind. Camera for the first time in his career. A new challenge, which he recently told us about in an interview.
“It’s a challenge, of course, but I love challenges, I think that’s what life is for. Directing is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I’ve been doing photography, I’ve been writing since I was little and we did shows, I was the director (laughs) . So it’s a bit of a cycle that kind of comes full circle.”Lea’s translator admits that she thought about going behind the camera for a while.
“But I’d never been able to direct tandem before, because we’d shoot on two sets, and when I wasn’t on one set I was on the other. And when the rumor of this particular tandem TV movie started, our sound engineer, Jean-Paul, came to see me one day at a diner and said, ‘We agree, That if we make a 90-minute TV movie, you’re going to make it, and I looked at him and said, “Excuse me?” (laughs). According to him, I had everything to make this TV movie and it hit home.”.
“There was no double series, I knew the series, the actors, the sets. It was a favorable field for my debut behind the camera”, continues Astrid Veyon, who quickly got approval from the chain and production to start this new adventure. And say goodbye to Leah and Tandem in the most beautiful way?
“I am going to this project with great excitement, great desire and also great fear. I should not be afraid of this and be disappointed”– the actor told us a few days before the start of the production of this TV movie. “It’s a mix of emotions that is both exciting and scary. But I throw myself into the adventure, like everything I do. I can’t do it halfway. I’m at the center of the creation, and that’s what I like.”.
