Crew
We are 5 young talents from Switzerland who live for the Movie Business. In fact, Dominique, Vitor and Kevin give their debut performance in this short movie. Foscky and Shannon, however, have been working as actors for a long time and had the chance to make many experiences, which have proved as helpful in the creation of a short movie for the ZFF 72 Talent Contest. Foscky is, among other things, known for his part in the Swiss cult comedy movie “Achtung Fertig WK” and Shannon plays the female lead in the Movie “Promise” which will have its premiere in the US in 2015. The five of them teamed up for the creation of an individual short movie. Interesting fact: The short movie was filmed with a hand camera, which gave all actors the opportunity to film sequences themselves and which creates a sensation of an intimate insight into the life of 5 youngsters. In addition, current topics as drug abuse and the controversy of teenagers bearing arms are discussed. We hope to have created a thought-provoking piece of movie art and have fun when checking all the fantastic entries to the contest! Dominique, Vitor, Kevin, Foscky & Shannon
