Bonnie Wright has started her own production company, BonBonLumiere, after finishing her degree in Film & Television at the London College of Communication. BonBonLumiere has already completed one short film and has plans to make more throughout the year! The production company also has a tumblr account, which you can view here.
Bonnie is showing her short film, Separate We Come, Separate We Go, starring fellow Harry Potter actor David Thewlis, at this year’s Cannes Cannes Short Film Corner at Cannes Festival. A synopsis of the film is as follows:
Separate We Come, Separate We Go is the story of a 10-year-old girl, Thea who escapes her bleak domestic life to find sanctuary in the surreal desert landscape of Dungeness. Roaming around the barren skeletons of boats and abandoned fishing huts, she is increasingly aware of her loneliness and vulnerability. Seemingly out of nowhere a man (David Thewlis) appears; she is so intrigued by him she defies all lessons taught about strangers and approaches him. As they walk and talk she discovers he is a widower and has lost his son; she realises she is not alone in experiencing loss. He notices her sadness and unusual maturity and decides to help lift her out of her melancholy. Through the metaphor of the freedom of flying birds, he shows her that life does have exciting possibilities.
This redemptive story shows that in life you should not allow fear to limit your horizons.
