Before Covid19 there was The Pink Cloud that led the world to quarantine for years. A story written and directed by Iuli Gerbase as her directorial debut.
Life changes on a dime when a toxic and mysterious pink cloud appears across the globe, forcing the world indoors immediately and indefinitely. In Brazil, Giovana (Renata de Lélis) finds herself stuck in her apartment with a man she just met (Eduardo Mendonça). But their carefree one-night stand grows into a years-long relationship complicated by a child and increasingly divergent worldviews as they try to imagine a future from the depths of a potentially never-ending lockdown. Written in 2017 and shot in 2019, this stunning, slow-burn sci-fi debut from writer/director luli Gerbase is both an eerily prescient reflection of our reality and a cathartic exploration of hope and despair, love and fear, and the boundlessness and limits of our ability as humans to adapt.
The filmmaker, Iuli Gerbase dived into heavy dialogue topics after studying cinematography and creative writing. Gerbase made her first short film at the age of 20. She is known in Brazil for films like Só Isso, Férias, and The Stone. Currently she is working on another sci-fi drama and television series.

I was connected with Iuli Gerbase to talk about the making of The Pink Cloud. She spoke about the big coincidence of having a parallel storyline to what we lived when COVID19 hit the world. As well as the cast and filming in a tight space. In addition to how quarantine affected the characters and more!
The Pink Cloud will be available in Digital/VOD March 1, 2022.
