Le Petit Nuage is a 2012 American black and white, silent short romance film based on an original screenplay written and directed by Renée George. This film is the first in a series of 7 Short Films About Love each filmed in a different country, and telling a different story of love. The goal of the project is to reach across cultural boundaries, using the global language of silent film, to create goodwill and encourage cross-cultural collaboration regardless of cultural differences. The first short in the series, Le Petit Nuage (The Little Cloud) was completed in 2012 and inspired by the film The Artist. While lighting the set of The Artist the director of 7 SHORT FILMS ABOUT LOVE, Renée George, was so inspired by the warmth of the story and inspired direction by Michel Hazanavicius, stellar performances by Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo, and the beautiful historic sets and costumes that her own passion for directing was re-ignited. Ms. George created a cinematic response with her own black and white silent film, an homage to the beauty of The Artist and a tribute to the French for shooting in Hollywood. While the French had come to America to make a film about love in Hollywood, she traveled as an American to France and made a film about love in Paris. The original score co-composed by Robert Casal and Renée George features a performance by internationally acclaimed French cellist Gautier Capuçon appearing courtesy of Virgin Classics, Argentinian bandonéonist Emmanuel Trifilio, and French violinist Henry Gronnier and was recorded with live orchestral musicians. The lush imagery of Cinematographer Stella Libert and intuitive performances by French actors Sarah Demeestère, Joffrey Platel and Sébastien Pierre bring a refreshing sensibility to the romance of the film. The story follows two people who meet in a café in Paris. We follow them as they take their enchanting journey through the City of Light.
