Director Biography - Sharik Pintor, Thiago Smieth

Thiago & Sharik: Two Perspectives, One Vision

Thiago and Sharik were never the typical teammates. Not because they didn’t get along, but because they seemed to live in completely different worlds. Thiago saw life as an action movie—intense, fast-paced, and full of spontaneous decisions. Sharik, on the other hand, saw it as a well-thought-out documentary, where every detail had a purpose and every story deserved to be told with patience.

When they got the opportunity to create this short film for a school project, they quickly realized that their different perspectives would either be a challenge… or an opportunity. Thiago wanted the camera to chase after the characters, to capture raw emotions, and to keep the pace relentless. Sharik, in contrast, wanted each shot to speak for itself, to let silence carry as much weight as words, and to ensure that every image built meaning.

The challenge wasn’t about deciding who was right—it was about learning to see through each other’s eyes. What if Thiago’s intensity blended with Sharik’s sensitivity? What if, instead of competing, their two ways of seeing the world could coexist in a single story?

And so, this short film took shape—a mix of adrenaline and depth, instinct and reflection. A project where the focus wasn’t just on what was told, but how it was told. Through filmmaking, Thiago and Sharik discovered that storytelling isn’t about seeing the world in the same way, but about finding a space where different perspectives meet and create something truly unique.

Director Statement

From the very beginning, we knew we were taking on an ambitious project. Making a zombie movie in a school setting wasn’t exactly easy, but the enthusiasm of our entire team turned every challenge into an excuse to have even more fun. With the guidance of our teacher, we learned how to organize a chaotic shoot (because, let’s be honest, zombie movies are chaotic by nature) and managed to bring to life a story that isn’t about teaching a lesson—it’s about what it means to be a teenager.

Our short film follows a group of young people who, instead of fearing the zombie apocalypse, see it as the perfect chance to finally live out their dream: becoming zombie hunters. The problem? They took things way too lightly, and, as expected, it didn’t end well for them. But rather than delivering a message about responsibility or caution, we wanted to do the exact opposite: celebrate this stage of life where making mistakes is part of the journey.

Not every ending has to be happy, and not every story needs to teach a deep moral lesson. Sometimes, it’s just about enjoying the chaos, laughing at our bad decisions, and remembering that we’re still young. And if we learn something along the way, great… but if not, at least we’ll have a good story to tell.
