PROJECT REALISATION

Development

In 2019, work on the script began, currently the final twelfth version is completed. During development, we have participated at several presentations, workshops and film forums such as Midpoint Slovak Intensive, Pop Up Residency Slovakia, Industry Days Bratislava and Visegrad Film Forum at IFF Febiofest. The script was created also in cooperation with the Historical Institute of the Slovak Academy Of Science.

Pre-production

In 2022 we finished final version of the script work, scouted shooting locations, filmed the teaser with main creative team and concluded the casting of the main characters of the film. Part of this phase in 2023 is project financing, negotiations with co-production partners, broadcasters, distributors, world sales as well as potential partners and sponsors.

Production

Shooting plan is divided into two separate parts - winter and spring stage. The winter stage is planned on January - February 2024 at real exterior locations in southern Slovakia and the spring stage will take a place on April - May 2024 in studio set in Bratislava. The planned number of filming days is in total 40.

Distribution and premiere

We plan to premiere the film in the first half of the 2025 at one of the prestigious international film festivals. The distribution and festival strategy will emphasize the need to get young viewers to the cinemas, but at the same time with the assumption of high audience attendance of all age categories.
