Film facts

As a topic for my final second-year film, I chose a semi-autobiographical story about a high school senior who finds out that life is not only about factual knowledge. I aimed to have all the characters portrayed well by the actors. To achieve the latter, I chose renowned Czech actors. Matěj Matouš whom I worked before, joined me once more on the film script assembly. We agreed that the leading character has to be strong, without a doubt. Nonetheless, despite being phenomenally portrayed by Michal Pazderka, the character managed to unexpectedly influence my personal life. Admittedly, any similarity found between the leading character and the fate of his director is fairly intentional. Zkouška dospělosti is simultaneously part of a feature length compilation film Zastávka, on whose creation worked 4 different directors, myself included. This compilation film will be screened in multiple regions of Czechia.
