One day during after an insanely long set of revisions on the script, “Elena Undone” I tossed my pen aside and wondered, “what in the hell am I trying to convey here?” – STOP THINKING. And so I did. I began to remember falling in love with Marina… (Marina Rice Bader Executive Producer of “Elena Undone”) and let all the delicious moments that sweep over you when you first fall in love rush back over me… But the most memorable and easily most exquisite moment was that first kiss…that kiss that feels like you have lived inside it forever. I jumped up, grabbed my laptop and started researching kisses and erotica in cinema a gaggle of googling later, I discovered that the record for the longest kiss in cinema history – that was organic to a film – was held by an old black and white comedy starring of all people Jane Wyman and Regis Toomey in a film called “You’re in the Army Now” – which lasted 3 minutes and 6 seconds. The actors lips were glued together so some people felt it shouldn’t count. Another film-maker tried to break the record by running a kiss that was shot overhead in a helicopter over the end credits stating he was going to break the previous record held by “You’re in the Army Now”; again not organic to the film. That’s what I wanted. To convey that moment: And I wanted the viewer to be fully inside that first kiss. Our brilliant DP, Tal Lazar, created a 360 lightning design. We were terribly short on time in our schedule and had to shoot the kiss in just 3 takes. Necar and Tracy knew they had to hold the kiss for a specific amount of time. They were thoroughly game to give it their best attempt – knowing we were trying to create film history -- although I assured everyone, if the kiss didn’t feel right – or real – to the moment – we would cut it. The two jumped in with gusto – approaching the scene as they did every scene – with absolute professionalism and an intractable commitment to truth. That truth is now seen in “Elena Undone” which now claims and holds the record for the longest kiss in cinema history – and made by two women no less – for a solid 3 minutes and 24 seconds. The kiss was then scored by the brilliant Jennifer Corday. The kiss between Elena ( Necar Zadegan) and Peyton (Tracy Dinwiddie) is equally sweeping, emotional, romantic and erotic. It is what every first true love kiss should be – endlessly breath-taking. http://www.cinemaspot.com/know/kiss.htm What was the longest on-screen kiss?
