SYNOPSIS
It’s freezing cold outside. The icy and dangerous fog is waiting in the forest for it’s next victim. The little girl and her classmates have no choice. They have to go to school even though they risk their lives. After passing through the great forest the children meet the dangerous fog…
DIRECTOR´S STATEMENT
The camera is concentrated on the eyes and the dialog is minimal. The focus of the sound is the atmosphere where snow and the clear air crispiness combined with children’s breathing produces a bubble. The universe in which we are participating is surrounded by the the dangerous fog. You should be able to recognize the real world in the film, even if everything is elevated in its visual expression.
A short film project that has been a long time in the making. Written and directed by Miko Lazic. I was the VFX/CG production supervisor on it and my production company Dark Haven helped make this film possible. The film got finished last year and are now being pushed out to festivals.
