Some days I believe in magic

Südbahnhotel Semmering

The original Suedbahnhotel Semmering (also called "Hotel Semmering" or "First Suedbahnhotel") was the first hotel on 1823 at the foot of Pinkenkogel Mountain-at exactly 1000 m above sea level. The Southern Railway Hotel on Semmering was one of several hotels along the Southern Railway route from Vienna to Trieste which were commissioned to stimulate the tourism in the respective regions and thus the Southern Railway route from the privileged K. uk Southern Railway Company. Semmering what already makes it easy to reach this time through the pioneering achievement of the Semmering Railways and what makes it a popular holiday and spa resort. Semmering was popular with Viennese society as well as multi-national guests from all levels of the royal monarchy. Fin de Siècle and Belle Époche are two eras at the end of the 19th century and / or at the beginning of the 20th century which were characteristic of the Semmering highway hotel, but not just social-political and sports history perspectives. A section of the Austrian tourism history so had its start here.

Apparently the hotel is in the process of being restored.

If Haley's team is footing the bill, this has to be the most expensive production she's been involved in. A full orchestra in Vienna, Austria? The producer, Bianca Gleissinger, is an Assistant Producer at Egoli Tossell Pictures. They seem to make films, not music videos.

"Past projects include: Jon S. Baird’s FILTH; Ron Howard’s RUSH; and Michael Hoffman’s Academy Award Nominated THE LAST STATION."

So this may be an independent project, unless it's a scene from a movie.

Bianca Gleissinger
Assistant Producer

Born 1990 in Vienna, Bianca studied Theatre, Film And Media at the University of Vienna before spending a year studying at at the Free University of Berlin and UCLA as an ERASMUS scholar. After graduating in 2013 she worked in Berlin for Senator Entertainment on the distribution of films such as "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom", "Beloved Sisters", "A Most Wanted Man“ and "Victoria". She is currently finishing her production studies at the Berlin Film School DFFB and joined the team of Egoli Tossell Pictures in January 2017. Bianca’s role includes coordinating our slate, keeping our projects on track and coordinating applications.

Indeed, it seems like a spendy project, which makes me think that someone else is footing the bill.  The filming was being done in Semmering, which is about a 100km drive from Vienna. (My title for the tread is a bit off.)  So travel gets added to the costs. It appears to be way too much of a Cadillac endeavor to be a music video.  And they are using 35mm film, which should make Haley happy, but is also quite lavish.  On the other hand, she's singing her own material.

Her latest 'get' among movie industry people, Tyler Perry, hired/invited Haley to sing CHFIL for friends at a lavish wedding in Italy, after she performed at his Birthday party.  Tyler Perry is known for making profitable movies 'his own way' outside of normal movie 'conventions'....

Just saying, the more Haley's network expands into different media, with her talent and charisma, the odds of someone within that circle using Haley to fill a part in a production, becomes more likely....

Judy Tossell and Jens Meurer have been producing films under the Egoli Tossell banner since 2001. In their combined decades of film producing experience they have made over 75 films, premiering at every major film festival in the world and earning many nominations and awards, including Academy Award nominations for THE LAST STATION and a Golden Globe for CARLOS in 2011. From 2011 to 2015 Egoli Tossell Film was part of the Film House Germany group. In 2016 Judy and Jens founded Egoli Tossell Pictures to continue their independent production activities. Egoli Tossell Pictures is a subsidiary of Instant Film, a company founded in 2013 by Jens Meurer as a vehicle for developing feature length documentaries. We are European filmmakers with a passion for good stories and great storytellers - whether that be a feature film, a narrative documentary or a television series. And we are committed to dedicating at least half of our slate to women filmmakers and female-driven stories.

Egoli Tossell Pictures has been involved in the production of numerous films.  Their work has high production values and is often high roller stuff.  The credits for movies they have been involved with typically have numerous companies involved in the production. One of the films featured on their website is Big Game, although I think the primary producer is a Japanese company.  However it was apparently filmed mostly in Finland.  Here's the trailer:




They might be filming scenes from a larger production (e.g. on location shots) for the project that involves Haley.  It does seem that Ms. Gleissinger was happy with the work of the day.

I can’t imagine I’ll ever be at another dinner like this.
A little piece of last night’s surreal adventure at the Sudbahnhotel outside Vienna.

Includes a brief video of a camera above peoples' heads slowing moving up to Haley. Getting readings in preparation for the actual shot, I think.
