Background

In 2013, we decided to take our film making skills to the next level and we started working on "The Hitchhiker" short film. The script took about 2 months to complete, casting also took about 2 months, filming was done in 5 days and post production took about 5 months. We were very pleased that our film was shown at 7 film festivals in 6 different countries.
