Charli XCX Stars in Warsaw-Set Indie Film 'Erupcja'
24 Apr
Summary
- Charli XCX stars in Pete Ohs' film set in Warsaw.
- Director Ohs encourages creative reuse of film trailer footage.
- Ohs prioritizes creative freedom over traditional filmmaking paths.
Pop singer Charli XCX stars in "Erupcja," a film directed by Pete Ohs, set in Warsaw during a summer visit. Ohs, who affectionately calls himself a "brat" in filmmaking, crafted the movie collaboratively with actors, focusing on a couple visiting the city ahead of a marriage proposal.
Embracing an unconventional approach, Ohs released all of "Erupcja's" trailer footage online for anyone to edit, encouraging creative freedom. He previously lived-streamed his editing process for "Jethica" and aims to foster a similar open, intuitive creation spirit.
Ohs deliberately steered away from a traditional indie film career, prioritizing smaller, more manageable projects that allow for fun and intuition. This ethos, he states, is about "less is more" and avoiding greed.
Despite the film's setting in Warsaw, Poland, Ohs managed to maintain his low-budget, fast-paced filmmaking style. He likens filmmaking to exercising muscles, emphasizing the importance of frequent practice for honing skills and keeping momentum, much like the creator generation on platforms like TikTok.
