PÖFF (Pimedate Ööde Filmifestival) Intro
I recently got to direct a short film for the Black Nights Film Festival aka PÖFF in Tallinn, Estonia. This project enabled me to work again with long time collaborator, Aleksey Siman as cinematographer. I shaped a story around the Estonian countryside in the beginnings of winter. The film will serve as look into the festival's unique love of cinema as a promotional intro. The piece is produced by the media production company, Vita Pictura. Coming soon.
