This one is special in so many ways.
I knew this had to feel like a film and be as authentic as possible. We shot in places close to where the real fights of the Slovak National Uprising took place. More than a storyboard, we had a list of scenes we were going for. And came up with some right on the set.
And I’m not sure, if I ever experienced everyone on the team so deeply involved in the production of the film. With
@reset.production we put together a small, agile crew – ready to move fast and do whatever was needed, no matter the callsheet role. Also everyone at
@freeandyagency gave this project blood, sweat, and tears. Watch the frames!
Much of this wouldn’t have been possible without DOP
@majozilo His knowledge of local terrain and extensive on set experience made him an MVP across almost every department – even makeup. Master.
@rafaelskurka handled all the camera equipment by himself like the pro he is.
We got in touch with a local WWII history club Ostrô - a group of enthusiasts, who keep the memory of the Uprising alive. With their help, we had access to the authentic props, uniforms, car and even the bunker.
@lukasherc as the main partisan. Immensely talented actor, perfectly embodying the character and the era.
@lukas.puchovsky_official dived in the role of the empathic father from the moment he met the main actress Juli. Helping her in front of the camera and delivering his role totally on point.
Juli 🖤 Jumped in the project in the very last moment. A demanding two days shoot, in harsh environment. And she killed it. And I’m not saying this just because she’s my daughter.
A huge thank you to my wife
@diankaroth For being the support for Juli and for me, for the whole two days.
With
@marekkralovsky we shaped the emotional rhythm, and
@luciakovalova transformed the material into a movie.
@bajko_studio made the pictures feel alive through sound.
@janakirschner_official - thank you for allowing us to use your song “Idú”. So subtle and so strong. It blends with the film so beautifuly! And thank you
@vallovalinda
@postbellumsk 🖤
