Film facts

I first participated in the 48 Hour Film Project international competition. To conceive, write, shoot, edit, color, sound, compose music, export and submit a film in just 48 hours is a suicidal task. I would never have thought to do it myself, but because my friend and actor Michal Pazderka approached me about directing the film together, I agreed. And so our creative tandem MP's was born. With the help of a crew made up of amazing friends from FAMO, and talented actors from DAMU and JAMU, we have conquered this crazy challenge! Even though it was almost everyone's first time going and some of us passed out from exhaustion during the night, we enjoyed it as much as we could and the result was an amazing film that won 3 awards (for Most Popular Trailer, Best Use of Genre and Best Music) out of 7 nominations (including the one for Best Film of the year) at the ceremony.
