The live action high resolution files of short film And So I Begin. were lost during post-production which forced production to shelve the entire project, seemingly indefinitely. Determined to complete it, however, writer/director/producer Margarethe Baillou resumed production after a five-year hiatus, finding a solution in framing the existing low resolution files with animated frames and elements. It turned the live action short into a semi-animated experimental short and completed the project.
The making of short film And So I Begin. brought together a team from five countries: the United States, Germany, Ireland, Austria and the United Kingdom.
The British composer of short film And So I Begin., Gabriel Prokofiev, is the grandson of legendary composer Sergei Prokofiev.
