The inspiration behind FLO is just as incredible as the inspiration that
is FLO. The love and dedication of everyone involved in bringing FLO to life is
emphasised in and radiates from HWML and is clearly evident in the film. To have
such a wonderful and talented group of people coming together, doing something
they all believed in, is truly part of the magic and artistry of For Lover Only
and something to be proud of.
Mark and Bryan have done a fantastic job of editing together the
interviews with the previously unseen footage, interspersed with deleted dialogue
and excerpts from Sofia’s diary. And in keeping with the black and white while
overlaying the footage with parts of Kubilay’s score the whole piece has been tied
together beautifully.
Having the opportunity to hear what everyone had to say about the
process and experience of making FLO is truly inspiring. Learning more about
Mark & Michael’s films be it through their book ‘The Declaration of
Independent Filmmaking’, interviews or behind the scenes experiences like this
is remarkable. I have never been more in awe of or inspired by any other filmmakers
and to get a glimpse into the family, magic and world of their work is such an honour.
Thank you for including the soldiers of love in the dedications; it
means the world.
How We Made Love is a beautiful tribute to the cinematic masterpiece
that is FLO and something to be truly proud of.
