Don’t be surprised if you see a film crew on the tramway platforms in Saint-Sever or in front of a bus stop in Boulingrin : it may be the teams of Tchiii, a humorous web series 100% Norman filmed entirely in Rouen (Seine Maritime).
This production was born of a Rouen theater troupe, that of Almendra. Actors and actresses come here for their love of comedy, at the rate of one shoot per month. For the last shoot, Sunday November 27, 2022 at the Beauvoisine stop, the teams dressed in Halloween colors. The stories are sometimes far-fetched, but they make you smile. “We are more of a ‘boomer’ humor than a young one”Juliette explains, the camera operator of the series.
With the means at hand
Of the dozen souls working on the project, no one takes credit for it. “It’s a collaborative work,” says Paul, one of the show’s thinkers.
He does not hesitate to point out certain problems, and in particular the lack of means: “We don’t have any help. » The investment, the time, the ideas, everything comes from them. Like the sound boom (500 euros), essential for the quality of the web series. Thus, the project is based solely on the volunteering and passion of its creators and actors.
Gain visibility
Director Christine Lacombe is on all fronts: costume making, writing, directing, acting, and communication. “Why do I have coffee in my hands? This coffee is not mine…”, she says, overwhelmed.
The one who is used to managing a theater troupe is not discouraged. And this despite the work and the difficulties encountered. Between two tram ramps, the scenes follow one another. Then, the end clap retained. The actors consume leave, after three hours of filming without a break.
The series still lacks visibility: “For the moment, we are having fun and finding ideas. “But in the long term, the director, totally invested in the project, would like” to work with a post-production “. It is a “project that is holding up well,” she says. We’re the only ones doing that.”
