Experiencing Interruptions?

Acquaintance

Two silhouettes grope for grains of darkness on the small island of light. Two people look for a ray in the sea of darkness. But both only find each other.

Director Biography - Vitalii Ermakov

He was born on February 6, 2005 and has always been a technician, studied mathematics and physics, and at the age of 17 he went crazy and decided to become a film director. Before that, for 2 years, as a hobby, he was engaged in translating and voicing cartoons on his YouTube channel. Despite this, he has never seriously engaged in creative work, but has a great love for cinema and art in general. In his last year of study at the Physics and Technology Lyceum, he shot his first film "Zilch". After graduating from school in summer of 2022, he did not go to university, but instead started studying Slovak in October with a hope to move to Slovakia in December. In early November, he spontaneously came up with the idea to write and shoot the film "Acquaintance" within 3 weeks. Here we are :)

Director Statement
