Private Project

30

Vincent B Gorce (Boy Swallows Universe, Aquaman, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Thirteen Lives) and Savanna Crasto (The Portable Door, Chasing Lemons) star in the dystopian short film, "30".

In a world of mass infertility, Eva, a lower class woman, must secure the costly treatment to become pregnant and have a chance to finish groundbreaking research against the poison agent, before she would face execution at age thirty.

"A well-crafted dystopian film captivates audiences by blending chilling realism with thought-provoking themes, immersing viewers in a hauntingly familiar world that compels them to reflect on the fragility of freedom and the resilience of the human spirit." - Christian Elliott - Director - A21 Films / Parallax Media Partner

"This is awesome. Very beautiful and poetic. The emotional intelligence required to make something like this is very impressive" - Nick Kozakis - Director - Tones and I Music Videos, Godless: The Eastfield Exorcism

Director Biography - Peter Koevari

Peter is an award-winning screenwriter, director, producer, and academy director of FilmLab Academy, from Brisbane, Australia.

His works are influenced by genre-filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, John Woo, and David Fincher. He has worked on many independent projects and is best known for the sci-fi short film 3 (2022), web-series Diana (2022), and is working on new productions, a cyberpunk short film, 'Quantum Ride', and horror short film, 'Lucky Devil', both due to hit festivals in 2023.

"I write and create films not because I can, but because I must. I believe in excellence, originality, and entertaining the audience. Although I'm based in Australia, I have always had a global mindset. I believe that stories need to be globally distributable, for them to truly succeed. Great films are made with strong planning, quality processes, great casting, a strong team, and a safe, happy, and supportive environment. Great stories are written by ensuring that the principals of drama and key elements of compelling storytelling are met. My dreams are to build more platforms and opportunities for the film industry and make globally distributable products with strong return on investment to enable more creative projects to be born and seen through to conception."

Director Statement

Project 30 is the most poetic film I've ever made, and is inspired by the world's progression and potential darker future outcomes, as well as films and tv series I absolutely adored in this genre, such as Handmaid's Tale, and Children of Men. I wanted to bring my own voice into this genre and this project was born.
