The story behind the film

I’ve been to Kamchatka several times and this place forced me to make a short film about this amazing peninsula.
The concept was to tell a story from a Kamchatka’s point of view, to wonder what if this piece of land was a man.

There were lot of challenges especially during filming period because of lack budget and the weather. The weather is so random on Kamchatka and it changes so fast. You literally can not plan properly even 1 day in advance, so we just tried to fit into nature’s plans.
