ON THE FESTIVAL CIRCUIT

After making Dance Short Films (very niche) throughout her career as a choreographer, in 2023, something shifted. A loud whisper took over Cindy’s heart and a deep desire to make her own films was born. She had been an action actress in front of the camera for many years by now. The Hiphop Theatre had become the comfort zone, and it was time to take the leap as a writer-director in the film industry…

In February 2024, her first short dystopian sci-fi was born. She produced “All Dogs Go To Heaven” and put together a team of 30 people to make the magic happen! The film won several prizes including Best cinematography and Best duo acting (Bigoli Studios), as well as Best Message Audience Award at the AI International Film Festival in Los Angeles. “All Dogs Go To Heaven” continues receiving attention on the film festival circuit.

“All Dogs Go to Heaven” opens on a very strong note, the visual is smartly constructed to bring through that futuristic feel while being budget conscious (…) It has a mix of slight coldness and an artistic edge, one that’s reminiscent of films like The Square, holding a stylish nature with an air of mystery and vague threat. (…) Something else that immediately stands out is the quality of the audio. (…) bringing up the question of how
quickly people might be to give up their humanity in order to remove pain and suffering feels very relevant. There’s something to that story which gives it a historic edge, the feeling of it being a small part of a bigger picture, helping to lend weight to the tone. A tone which is then complimented by some strong score work. As well as having a robust voice leading the way, boosting the film’s presence. (…) The cast bring a calculated tone to match the futuristic setting yet they’re not entirely cold, with leading actress Cindy Claes creating a great balance of concise choices while holding onto the hint of a personal touch. (…) The filmmakers do an excellent job of building that dystopian edge while never overplaying their hand. (…)”
