How busy does one have to be
to be a successful film and TV producer/writer/director? The answer is simple:
very busy! Maybe that’s why they say, if you want something done, give it the
busiest person in the room. Is that why people are always giving Didier
Beringuer more projects to direct and produce? Most likely, is the answer to
that one, don’t forget, the busiest person in the room is always looking for
projects of his won too. And that’s what Didier does – dream up interesting
stories for TV and or movies and then he writes the script and either produces
the project himself or directs it.
Brilliant Silence, the feature film to be shot in 2017 is one of those dreams that
floated to the surface in Didier’s highly creative imagination. It’s a story of
the right-to-die and same-sex marriage all rolled into one 90-minute (more or
less) moving picture starring the likes of the famous Eric Roberts, Stephen
Dorff, Colin O’Donoghue and William Fitchner. Didier also lassoed Oscar-winning
composer Ludivic Bource to compose the original score for the film.
While the film is in
pre-production right now it is scheduled to be shot in early 2017 and then
released in late 2017 or early 2018. Having seen many of Didier’s commercials
and a few of his other films and TV shows, we have no doubt that Brilliant Silence will be another subtle
masterpiece that evokes a stream of emotions along with pride in humanity and
in being human.
We were totally impressed
when we saw his commercial for Buchanan’s Whiskey. Two painters creating art on
adjacent walls, two completely different styles - clashing and competing at
first, but then slowly appreciating and even merging their work and finally
embracing with all the understanding and feelings that two long-lost brothers
could muster up after not seeing each other for decades. That is certainly the
structure of some of Didier’s work and it is very effective because it draws
the audience into the piece of work and allows them to feel what the characters
are feeling. And isn’t that what we go to the movies for?
Brilliant Silence has the opportunity to bring all of us together on topics that are
arguably very politically challenging right now. We are fortunate that Didier
Beringuer is at the helm of this movie because he will bring his sensitivity
and sharp intelligence into play as he marshals all his forces to make another
beautiful film.
