Zoé Wittock’s debut feature, “Jumbo,” screening in Sundance’s World Cinema Dramatic Competition, is also the first feature film produced by up-and-coming French producer, of Insolence Productions, who has cut her teeth on award-winning shorts, including winning the Procirep Short Film Producer Award last year.
“Jumbo” is about a young woman, played by Noémie Merlant, who falls in love with a machine – the Tilt-A-Whirl ride in a theme park. The €2.9 million France-Belgium-Luxembourg coproduction is repped by French sales agent WTFilms, and has been pre-sold to several territories in Asia, including Japan and Taiwan.about “Jumbo” and her other projects.I first met Zoé in 2013 in the Court Métrange festival in Rennes, where I was on the jury. I loved her short film, “This Is Not an Umbrella,” that was shot in the desert on 35mm while she was studying at the AFI. We decided we should make our first feature film together.
