THE CRUSH (4:09)
Robert Konjic and I had worked together in London for Harrod’s several years ago, and after running into him and Julia several times out and about in London I thought they would make the perfect couple for this short. I wanted a real couple rather than casting models for this fashion film, as the emotion is more real – and the kisses certainly are more convincing! Julia has a brilliantly look, such incredible eyes, and Robert is a has always been one of the stronger, more timeless male models; together they make quite an iconic couple. I think they both could have an interesting future in film if that is something that interests them. This was the first film production for both of them.
