Jeanne / Jeanne
Synopsis
Jeanne Duval, the mixed-race muse and partner of Charles Baudelaire has been forgotten by time and erased by history. But she refuses to remain silenced. In this short we see April 27, 1842: a day in the life of Duval and Baudelaire. As the day goes on, the weight of Charles’s words and needs becomes increasingly difficult for Jeanne to bear.Details of Crew

Producer Details
From Charlotte, North Carolina. Major fan of independent foreign cinema, particularly neo-realism and many new wave movements. This is the inspiration from which I derive a style composed of analog film, documentary style cinematography and slice of life plots.
