Last week we looked at the evolution of Victor, the most complicated and mysterious character and the “man” behind the Cosmos Laundromat, as he has gone through the most dramatic changes over the course of production. However, that’s not to say that the other characters haven’t changed enormously as well. This week we take a look at the development of Franck, our story’s protagonist.

Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about Tara and the rest! In the next segment we’ll look at how she came to be Tara, as well as a brief look at some of the minor characters that came and went during the development process.

Watch the blog and social media for both of these to appear leading up to next week’s pre-premiere party!
