About the project
The brief and the answer
An anniversary film for the 80th birthday of the Kaliningrad Region. We gathered a whole region into a single story: surfing on the Baltic, the Curonian Spit, restaurants, theatre, bloggers and residents — all in their own words. Full cycle: concept, casting, shooting across the region, graphics, tracking, colour grading and an original score. The film has become part of the culture of the region and is used to promote it nationally and internationally.
