How ‘September 5’ Director Tim Fehlbaum Drew ‘Strength From a Limitation’
Director, writer and producer Tim Fehlbaum and writer Moritz Binder talk "September 5."
“I like movies that draw strength from a limitation,” he said, noting that production design meticulously researched and built what was effectively a working period control room as a set, so that the actors could actually see and respond to the events as they appeared on their monitors. Led by DP Markus Förderer, the scenes were lensed largely handheld in long takes “following it as if we ourselves would be a broadcast team in that room, observing.” This, he adds, was followed by the “crucial” work of editor Hansjörg Weißbrich. Ben Chaplin, for example, had to learn how to thread film into a Steenbeck,” Felhbaum said, adding that after this meticulous preparation, there was “not too much rehearsal, because then on the day [it] was really important that we got the magic of the first take.”
