Anatomy of a Debut. Andrei Epure on “Don’t Let Me Die”
Last year, under similarly scorching heat, I spoke with Andrei Epure about his first feature film, Don’t Let Me Die, which was then in the editing phase. He was still processing the post-shooting period and had quite a few questions about how the film would eventually turn out – at least creatively. Our conversation was part of a series dedicated to debut directors, alongside Sarra Tsorakidis and Andreea Borțun, later published in the 4th print edition of Films in Frame. The goal was to understand what the beginning of a filmmaker’s journey feels like: what kind of pressure a debut entails, and what lessons might come out of the experience.
