Alex Lutz Premieres Directorial Effort 'Connemara' at TAFFF

Alex Lutz, a well-known actor and director, is bringing his new movie 'Connemara' to Los Angeles for its big premiere in North America.

This movie is a romantic drama about Hélène, played by Mélanie Thierry, who is a successful executive who gets very tired from her job and returns to her old hometown.

There, she meets her childhood friend Christophe, played by Bastien Bouillon.

Christophe never left the town and is now raising his son alone.

Alex Lutz, who also wrote the movie, was inspired by a book and wanted to explore themes of time passing, and the choice between staying in a small town or leaving to pursue a career.

He was also interested in the setting, which is on the edges of towns, and the social issues that might be hidden there.

Lutz worked with a few other people to write the script and carefully chose the actors, wanting them to bring specific qualities to their roles.

This is the first movie Lutz directed where he doesn't act in it himself, but he has directed many plays without acting before.

He also recently started a film production company and has other projects in development.
