Calls: From Short Film to Apple TV Series
In 2016, French screenwriter and director Timotheé Hochet released his short audio film Calls on YouTube. The story was then adapted for an anthology series on France’s CANAL+ television station, which then led to the creation of an American version for Apple TV in 2021. All three projects share an atmosphere of mystery, tension, and the use of time paradox. Also worth mentioning is Hochet’s decision to work with an unusual, experimental format – essentially a radio play on the television screen. In his talk, Timothée Hochet will discuss the path from the original idea of telling a story through telephone conversations to his successful cooperation with Apple TV and its impact on his career as a European filmmaker.
