Artist Otto Rehberger re-thinks the film making process by mixing things up a little and naming the project "On Otto." In his quest to produce a body of art in reverse, he chose to start with a title sequence and finish with a screenplay.
Cast : Kim Basinger, Willem Dafoe, Emmy Rossum, Justin Henry, Danny DeVito
Crew, in the order of their intervention : Kuntzel+Deygas (title sequence), Ennio Morricone (score), Randy Thom (sound design), Sylvie Landra (edit), Wolfgang Thaler (direction of photography), Jeffrey Beecroft (production design), Mark Bridges (costumes), J. Todd Anderson (storyboard), Barbara Turner (screenplay).
Of the collaboration, Kuntzel + Deygas revealed:
"Tobias initially presented us with his poster and the name of the film. Nothing more. What was strange for us though was not having any list of names as none of the actors or staff were confirmed when we started. So this sequence really is a title without credits. Even Ennio Morricone’s score was composed afterwards."
