Nice composition, nice lighting, this is good cinematography!

 

[Michael Schrengohst]

Powerful, a movie is so much more than what it was shot with.

This feels like academy award level.

Will this be released in theatres?

 

[Vigen Vartanov]

Very good DOP job , and also i like story . Can we get full version for Preview I wanna see movie .

 

[Sean R.]

Beautiful imagery. Very moving.

 

[Stelios Koukouvitakis]

The movie will be released in Greek theatres.
I don't know about international release
but propably you could see it in film festivals...

 

[Rudi Herbert]

And here comes the best part, Stelios, do you know what the budget for the film was?

 

[Taylor Dansen]

Wow! fantastic stuff... I'm interested to know how you achieved that look, what was your camera set up?

 

[Alexander Nikishin]

These are some of the most beautiful images I've seen shot on RED, great work.

Stelios, any idea on what lens' were used?

 

[Stelios Koukouvitakis]

Well, I had nothing to do with the movie
so I don't know any specific details concerning
the budget (which is not yet published) or technical things
such as color timing etc.

But I can say it is a co-production of the Greek Film Centre,
some production companies and private investors.

 

[sergio arguello]

Quite possibly the nicest footage thus far...And a wonderfully daring subject matter...bravo!!!

 

[Leo Ticheli]

Bravo!

A must-see for me.

Good shooting and best regards,

Leo
