Niccolo by Marco Polo is a collection of urban chic hotels under the umbrella of Hong Kong’s Marco Polo Hotel Group.

Fast Management was commissioned by branding agency Yang Rutherford to have our artists Eugenio Recuenco and Eric Dover interpret their tag of “New Encounters – Timeless Pleasures” which they had developed for the launch.

The film and stills campaign, written and directed by Fast Management’s Eugenio Recuenco and Eric Dover and with production and casting by Fast Management was shot in Los Angeles last October.

We are delighted to share the tv commercial film that accompanies the print and social media push in conjunction with the group’s opening of their first property in Chengdu.

Eugenio and Eric’s characteristic cinematic signature is palpable throughout every one of the frames that lead us to the open ended and at times mysterious finale.

 

 

 

THE SECOND DEFEAT – A FILM BY EUGENIO RECUENCO

The long awaited moment has arrived and we can share with you the trailer to The Second Defeat a film by Eugenio Recuenco.

At the end of 2014, Eugenio Recuenco and Eric Dover started a crowdfunding towards the production costs of making their movie The Second Defeat based on the book, Los Girasoles Ciegos (The Blind Sunflowers) by Spanish writer Alberto Méndez.

This crowdfunding was aimed at equipping the professionals who would worked on this project with the necessary tools to ensure that their creativity and eagerness was not betrayed by a tight budget, thus allowing them the freedom to do the true justice this project truly deserved.

This short film has a special feature. When SOGECINE and Jose Luis Cuerda selflessly assigned the rights of Alberto Méndez’s book, their sole condition was that the project had a non-profit nature. Therefore it was decided that , if the crowdfunding target budget of €205,000 was exceeded the surplus amount will be allocated to DYES, an NGO that works in countries like Sierra Leone, Chad and the Ivory Coast promoting education and sport as elements of peace and development, and helping to rehabilitate child soldiers.

The Second Defeat, is a breathtaking story dealing with a young poet who escaped from the victors of a terrible war to the mountains together with his pregnant wife. In this lonely and cold scenario, the young woman gives birth to a child and dies right after. Thanks to a private diary, where the man puts his fear into words, we can picture the background of the futile fight of the father to save his son’s life.

Filming started in January of 2015.

CREATIVE DIRECTION 360

Posted on May 21, 2014 in Campaigns, Eric Dover, Eugenio Recuenco | No Comments
At Fast Management, we are often asked how the ideas from our artists come about and how these eventually become a fully finished image or series of images.In this example, Eric Dover, Fast Management’s award winning creative director and long standing collaborator of our photographer Eugenio Recuenco, worked on the art direction for their SUPERHERO shoot for the Lavazza Calendar.Eric Dover created detailed drawings of the ideas he has with Eugenio of a superhero universe that would act as the setting for their shoot. From the environment down to the detailed and unique costumes that the protagonists would be wearing on the shoot was carefully drawn out to communicate to the client their vision prior to approval and eventual shooting.Indeed a very lengthy process one may say, but when we firmly consider photography to be an art form and our photographers to be artists these efforts that we firmly to be necessary to achieve what we produce.

REVISITING….LES HUGUENOTS

There have been many cases of historically momentous operas that claimed the public in their day, then fell into neglect. But the near disappearance of Giacomo Meyerbeer’s French grand opera “Les Huguenots” is especially baffling.

“Les Huguenots,”: Giacomo Meyerbeer’s 1836 opera, much loved and performed in its time, received a rare staging at the SummerScape festival at Bard College.

For nearly 100 years after its astonishingly successful 1836 premiere in Paris, the opera was a mainstay of the repertory, especially in France. It was the first work in the history of the Paris Opera to reach the milestone of 1,000 performances.

“Les Huguenots” was last performed at the Metropolitan Opera in 1915, in an Italian translation with a cast that included Enrico Caruso.

The August 2009 SummerScape production at the Fisher Center, Bard College, New York was staged by the young American director Thaddeus Strassberger, winner of the 2005 European Opera Directing Prize, in collaboration with the Spanish photographer and filmmaker Eugenio Recuenco who together with Eric Dover, art directed the revival.

It is majestic opera at its purest, featuring a large cast and chorus, all against a sobering backdrop of bigotry and hatred.
