Works

Donkey Hot

A satirical interpretation of the modern debut launch process from the perspective of two young director's personal experience. Chivalrous walk to the meeting with a producer becomes a nostalgic journey down memory lanes where fears, turmoils and disappointments of recent months are mixed together. The path to dream's implementation is hampered by mainstream's lack of understanding - the confrontation which resembles a fight with windmills.
