New poster for Black Sunfowers (@blacksunflowersfilm ) which is nearly nearly finished in post! Huge thanks to @pictureshop - @elliot_joe_whitehead and @tomgrades for sorting us out with the grade, incredible job. Premiere is this Saturday (3rd) in Bournemouth - link will be up this eve if anyone wants to come (free of course) 🌻
Finally a huge thanks to @dianka_113 and @ro_po_po_ for letting us tell their story. It’s been a wild ride and we can’t wait for you all to see the final film 🎥🍿
1 year on since the invasion of Ukraine seems a fitting date to announce our project Black Sunflowers, a short film that follows the stories of two refugees; Diana and Polina @dianka_113@ro_po_po_ .
I had the pleasure of meeting these wonderful humans last year down south in the UK, and after hearing about their journey we decided to make a film together. I pitched the project to the boss @mayaoj and it became top priority.
We filmed last November before Polina went back to Ukraine and now we’re thrilled to announce it’s almost done 🔥. It was an insane shoot but made so much better by our incredible cast and crew (thanks in the next post!). Most importantly, we’d like to dedicate this film to the people of Ukraine who have shown the world what true courage looks like 🇺🇦
