Pascal Reneric - Director and actor
"The White Crocodile" (le crocodile blanc) filmed in the Auvergne August 2003, is a french spaghetti western (western/manouche) set in itinerant theatreland and follows the story of Terry Poorest (played by Guillaume Méziat) and how he came to have a hole in the head. The sheriff (played by Pierre Samuel) is forced to find the elusive white crocodile, but beware all is not as it seems! God (played by Christian Dumont) has his part to play. The film was made just after the Avignon Festival in 1993 at Footsbarn's base La Chaussée. It was filmed just after the strike by "intermittants de spectacle" (actors and techniciens) cancelled the festival, a hot summer indeed and the story of the intermittants was woven into the storyline during the shooting of the film. The White Crocodile was the first artistic reaction to the problem, that still exists today in 2008. I played the part of the mystery tramp and wrote the song "Shooting Stars" for the credit roll. 52 mins.
"Invisible" filmed at the Footsbarn 35th anniversary in August 2006. The film centres on the children of the artists during the celebration, but more than this Pascal was inspired by finding his milk teeth in a matchbox! 30 mins.
Pascal made the video clip for The Shiels "Born to Die" see it on Myspace
Both the Crocodile Blanc and Invisible are available on DVD, for copies please write to johnkilby03@yahoo.fr
