10 Reasons I Love FLO

1.       The writing. Its honesty and beauty is like nothing I had ever seen before.  Love is real and so are the heartaches that go with it. Mark’s writing captured this superbly.

2.       The journey. Unlike in romantic comedies where you know the generic story line and how it will end with FLO you went on a journey with Yves and Sofia. You didn’t know what would happen next, and even though you could sense it closer to the end you didn’t know who was going to make that ultimate decision or how it was going to affect either of them.

3.       The cinematography. The black and white was gorgeous and Michael’s direction was an element all its own. Every shot told a story, captured a moment & added to the experience.

4.       The acting. The bond of trust and friendship that Mark and Stana developed so quickly made for beautiful on screen chemistry. You felt Yves and Sofia’s love and their heartache.

5.       The music. Not only was Kubilay Uner’s score hauntingly beautiful but the songs in the soundtrack felt like they were waiting to be part of this film.

6.       The silent moments. These montages really captured Yves and Sofia’s love perfectly. There was no mistaking that these two are in love and enjoy each other’s company.

7.       The respect. Both in filming and between the characters. This is something that I adore more than words can describe.

8.       The filming and distribution. The heart and bravery behind FLO is something that I greatly admire and respect. To make something so beautiful on no budget and to distribute it by word of mouth is incredible.

9.       The team.  We can never thank you enough for taking the time to talk to us and answer our questions. To share with us something so close to your hearts and trust us with your memories.

10.   The love. FLO reminds us that while love is difficult it is real and worth fighting for. That even though life is not always perfect we can’t hide from it.
