Director Statement

The film is an educational project arranged for students to dive them into creation of a movie from inventing the story through all stages of the production. I think it's very important to know inner details of film production in the very beginning of student's education 'cause it gives them huge base of knowledges about cinema. Students wrote, shot, played, edited the film by themselves slightly curated by me. And I think they made it very good! Yours sincerely, Nariman Turebayev.
