Upside Down - Canvas

Upside Down - Canvas

As an artist, I get to express the things that I truly enjoy through the art that I create. That being said, there was once a box office release of a movie in 2012 that I absolutely Loved. That was the premiere of "Upside Down", Produced by Juan Solanas, it is the story of two strangers who fell in love as teens despite the fact that they live on twinned worlds with gravities that pull in opposite directions. Ten years after a forced separation, they set out on a dangerous quest to reconnect with one another. Through my eyes, this movie was wonderful. So here is the art it inspired me to make.



History Behind the Movie:

The French production company Studio 37 initially searched for an American co-producer, and received positive response from Hollywood representatives who read the screenplay. However, because of cultural differences, they decided to look for European partners instead, as they thought it would be essential for the project to be driven primarily by its director. The film was eventually produced by Studio 37, Onyx Films and the Montreal-based company Transfilm, for a budget of $50 million.

Variety reported from the Cannes Film Market in 2009 that Kirsten Dunst and Emile Hirsch were in talks to play the film's two leading roles. A few months later the same magazine reported that Jim Sturgess had been cast instead of Hirsch.

Principal photography started in Montreal in February 2010. Filming and post-production were located in the U.S. because of the country's low taxes for film productions. Producer Dimitri Rassam said: "We couldn't have made Upside Down without the French funding system but there was no way we could have shot [in France] because the tax rebate is not attractive enough."
