A Good Man Behind the Scenes 

So I won’t do a whole translation but I’ll sum up quickly that video.

So for the people who don’t know yet, Noémie’s next film is called A Good Man is it’s about a trans man who wants to stop his transitioning for a while to be able to carry the baby they want to have with his girlfriend because she can’t have a baby herself.

Noémie plays that trans man called Benjamin/ Ben. 

At the beginning Marie Castille Mention Schaar, the director, said she watched a documentary called Coby directed in 2017 by Christian Sonderegger that talked about his half brother who was a trans man. Then Christian says that MCMS was very moved by the film and was very interested in the dynamic of the couple between a trans man and his partner. And MCMS adds that being a trans man and wanting be a parent is something very legitimate and that’s why she wanted to do that film.

In the scene we see in the video, you see Noémie as Benjamin and Vincent Dedienne as Benjamin’s brother, Antoine. And his brother is basically telling him he doesn’t support the decision of Ben carrying the baby because he’s a man and it’s confusing etc. But Ben says he doesn’t have a choice.

And then MCMS said she love to work and invent with Noémie and she called her ‘Ben’ through the whole shooting because it was important for her that Noémie stays in character.

And Soko, who plays Ben’s partner, said they called Noémie, « No » and they would use the he/him pronouns because that’s what wanted MCMS. Vincent and Christian say the same thing. 

And Christian praised Noémie’s performance and said it was a tough thing to do and it was really about being in that character etc.

Then Soko said that they worked with a lot of trans men during the writing process so the relationship in the film would feel real.

Then we see the same scene of fighting between the two brothers.

In the next scene, Leo, the son of Antoine and Ben’s nephew, saw Ben peeing sitting down and said that his uncle was peeing like a girl.

And the blonde actress (don’t know her name), who plays Antoine’s wife talks about her character and how she’s opened minded and very supportive.

At the end MCMS said the goal of the movie was to show the story of that couple through something that a lot of different people can understand: the desire to be parents. And that help them to understand those characters and their journey. 

Day 7 -- Reuben /and the Pets

I was originally going to do fullbody...uuuntil I hit Benedict. 

My family owns chickens, but I literally could not find one when I was trying to draw him. So I changed to headshots instead. XD

--> Reuben has a sixth sense for sniffing out carrots --> His spots are because his mom was pure pink and his dad was an oreo pig (we used to have one, they’re actually really cute)

--> Benedict came from the first chickens, who were immortal and had the power to lay spawn eggs.  --> One in every two million of his chicken spawn eggs will spawn a first chicken --> The crowns were Mevia’s idea

Our three Admins looking fierce!!
