Neon Heart (2023)

Interesting facts

Neon Heart is a 2022 Brazilian drama film written and directed by Lucas Estevan Soares, and produced by Rhaissa Gonçalves. It stars Lucas Soares himself, Ana de Ferro and Wawa Black. In Neon Heart, Fernando (Soares) works with his father delivering romantic messages given as gifts to people all over town on board a telegram service car called Neon Heart.

Production

Neon Heart was produced by International House of Cinema (IHC), with executive production of Rhaissa Gonçalves, Lucas Estevan Soares and Mehdi Avdi. IHC financed with its own resources 100% of the budget of R$ 1.5 million ($320,000) employed in the project, captured by its work developed in the United States. Faithful to the style of "guerrilla cinema", the independent production did not use public funding resources.

The feature film was shot in the second half of 2019 in Boqueirão, a neighborhood of the city of Curitiba, with post-production being carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic. First Brazilian film finished with Dolby Atmos technology, the film featured a cast entirely originated in the Curitiba art scene.

The idea for the project arose from the fascination of director Lucas Estevan Soares for singing telegram services, and hence imagine a chase involving one of these vehicles, affectionately called as "Boquelove" in the work, nickname of the Ford Corcel of blue color and year 1975 that gives name to the film.
