"Erica wonders off into the dark to search for medicine for her wounded father. As she rummages a cabin she stumbles upon two men who grant her cover for the night. But something outside is listening."

We made this back in 2017. Took awhile to upload it to the tube because we tried the usual film festivals etc what wannabe filmmakers do 8) . Got a great little review from OCMoviereviews: https://www.ocmoviereviews.com/short-...

This probably cost me about 3k - 4k in euros, no one got paid as such, all the money went into stuff. First time working with Esa Jussila as DoP who is an indie legend here in Finland, check him out here:    / ehetyz  

Shot this with the Blackmagic Ursa and the 5d III raw (I did a bunch of little technical mistakes, we also had to ADR 75% of everything that sucked ass. Never again ADR)

Learned a ton of little lessons by making this one. Shortfilms really carry no other value than teaching lessons. And Finland is an excellent country for making post apocalyptic films (the weather changes in this short are ridiculous). Have any questions? Ask away in the comments.
