It’s my debut personal project which I wanted to start my director's career with. It was one long shooting day with my friends and guerilla shooting in semi documentary style, as almost everything was done for real. I decided to use seven different formats to change perception and jump from cinematic to real feeling of the story. I wanted to have absolute control of the project on every step of production, so I created the idea, directed, edited, colored and wrote music with sound design by myself. There was no budget but I had a strong desire to make this project alive. Hope you'll enjoy it!

One of the crucial points of his works is to convey the feeling and mood of the story and be closer to audiences' hurts, so they can not only see but also feel the story though different visual, sound and editing technics.
