The mc² film collective was started with cinema in our minds and hearts. It was a way to make films by ourselves, without having to wait for bigger production companies to validate our ideas, way of seeing the world, feelings and passion. We've started making films based on our screenplays, but soon started being curious about what other people from around the world might be writing, might be creating from their imagination. That's why we created our screenwriting contest, in 2017, with the main prize being our promise to turn the winning screenplay into a film. For the first edition Luke was the winner, with a screenplay written in an amazing way, which was transporting you directly into the action. We've worked on it with a great team, with our main goal being to preserve the quality of the story. Transferring a short horror with roots in realism to the screen was a true challenge and our approach was to present it through raw acting, light and image, sound and music.
