January 2009

Happy New Year out there. Once more we step in a new year with lot of plans and ideas. During the X-Mas holidays we finished our new short “The Six Days of Adem and Eve” - a love story of two elderly people who find together after 40 years. Earlier this year we finished two ore shorts “Sleepless Beauty” - which premiered on the Rhode Island Film Festival - and “No better Country”. Still in preparation is “Loveless Zorica” where we plan to shoot in this summer.

What else happened in the second half of 2008? We finally finished “22km” - a short documentary commissioned by Discovery Channel, we did some corporate videos and as usual a lot of service providing for other producers.

Mai 2008

Ok. Ok. We know quite well that we have been very lazy in the last year concerning our homepage. The reason was just that we had a lot of work to do. There are two new shorts, which are now finished: “Sleepless Beauty” by Martin Dolejs and “No better Country 1” by Frank Becher. Another great news is the development of “Loveless Zorica” a serbian-german-greek co-productions which we joined as german partner. The film is funded by the FFF Bayern and the Serbian Film Fund and we hope to close financing later in summer.

As every year Cannes was one more time a lovely experience as you can see on the still, which was made during our CINEMANIAX! Cannes breakfast together with our scottish friends and colleagues from KoLik Films.
