Film Evaluation

The Voice filter — seven questions before a greenlight

The Image

Can you imagine a specific scene that does not exist in any other film?

Not the concept, not the theme — a scene. A moment with people doing something in a place. If the film in your head resembles ten films you have already seen, it is not Nemea yet.

The Director

Does the director have a personal relationship with this material?

Not necessarily autobiographical — personal. Something only this person can make. If another director could direct it just as well, it is probably not worth making.

The Friction

Is there something that makes you productively uncomfortable about this project?

A difficult premise, an irredeemable character, a tone that resists categorization, an ending that offers no comfort. If everything feels comfortable from the start, it will not surprise the audience either.

The Identity

Can you articulate why this film is not another film?

If you can only describe it as "it's like X but with Y," it needs a third element you cannot explain through comparables. The well-executed version of a familiar idea is not enough.

The Characters

Are the characters smarter than the thesis?

If the script treats characters as mouthpieces for an idea, it fails. Characters must exceed any argument the film could be making — this is the key test against miserabilism and thesis-cinema.

The Craft

Is the craft equal to the ambition?

The vision can be large or small — but camera, sound, editing, and performance must be impeccable for the scale of the film. Zero tolerance for vision without craft.

The Library

In ten years, will this film still have a reason to exist?

Not: will it be a hit? Will someone discover it, recommend it, revisit it? Nemea films do not live off their year of release — they live off their decade. Value lives in the library, not the box office.

The Structure

Does it qualify for at least one major incentive?

EFICINE 189, EFICA 30%, or BC PSTC. If none apply, the financing structure gets significantly harder.
