Gabriella Tana, the producer of the film says, they’re using Berlin as a moment to kickstart the project because they want to do a documentary footage of Kristen as the head of the jury and talking about how she is going to play Sontag’
Makers say this film is a drama but with a documentary aspect attached to it and they believe that Kristen has a wonderful approach to storytelling.
