Request from India - they heard about my 'nice short film evolution' -
if it would be possible to screen it at CAMEO Short Film Club.
So - lets go - to Mumbai! :-)
CAMEO Short Film Club (Mumbai/India)
"evolution" ---> Duration: 12 min, HD-quality --- My part: Writer, Director, Producer, et cetera
SUBJECT:
The theme of this shortfilm reflects on the idea of the general effectiveness vs. ineffectiveness of censorship. It's also all about the natural
law of evolution, the inevitable progress. The film is a declaration of love to a playful approach towards life and a juvenile attitude towards
every-day's routine - countering ubiquitous conventions. Finally, the film culminates in an unexpected and never-seen-before twist.
All in all its a ROMANTIC COMEDY but also at home in genre SUSPENSE and THRILLER.
31 Official Selections by now..
