Robers David Film and TV

La Femme Ballon

Lorena and Mark had pinky-pact never to produce a short until they read Doug Van Bebber’s “Le Femme Ballon." A riff on artsy fartsy French films like Jules et Jim, “Le Femme Ballon” immerses the viewer in a love affair between a man and his female blow up doll. It’s all about what she doesn’t say that leads to the deadly finale. In French with English subtitles and starring Van Bebber, this film went on to win numerous awards including the Showtime Latino Filmmakers Showcase. Age restricted due to graphic sex with a blow up doll
