Wissenswertes

Courting Chaos is a 2014 American film written and directed by New Zealand filmmaker Alan Clay. The film is adapted from his book Angels Can Fly, a Modern Clown User Guide. The story is about a Beverly Hills girl who falls for a Venice Beach street clown called Chaos and she must overcome her inhibitions and become a clown herself for the relationship to survive.

Production

Courting Chaos is notable for being shot and having finished the complete post production process, with a live music score, in just six weeks. This was done to capture the spontaneity inherent in the film's subject matter and to achieve this, composer Sherri Chung was composing the film's performance tracks and score from the script prior to the shoot and editor Ranchel Ann Pearl was working on set at Venice Beach from the second day.

A team of 7 camera operators under DP Dan Kneece captured the street theatre scenes live, complete with real audience interactions and performer perspective shots from cameras mounted on the clowns. By the end of the 4 week shoot there was a rough cut of the film. One week later it was a fine cut and by the end of the following week, music was recorded and sound mixed.
