Twice born

Twice Born was filmed on three different locations, Sarajevo, Korcula, Rome. Many of the characters in the picture alternate from the past to the present, the film begins in winter of 1984 and arrives to present day. We gave the ageing process of each of the character a lot of thought, the wardrobe, hair and makeup changes needed to subtle yet distinct. Gemma’s character (played by Penelope Cruz) is very complex and she goes through a lot emotionally during the film and this is reflected through her costume changes as well. The colors change from pastel to earth tones to more lighter tones such as aquamarine and creams. One of the challenges was to re-create the various Serb and Bosnian army uniforms for the scenes during the seige, they are extremely hard to find. We had to make many of the uniforms including the patches, emblems, hats.
