Who we are

We’re a group of students from Slovenia, a small european country. We met each other on an acting course which was held by Tamara, who shared the knowledge she acquired on an intensive acting course at the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles. We started with PSAs about various social causes (marriage equality, obesity, homelessness...). It quickly became serious and we decided to make a play called Therapy, which talks about different people who come to a self-help group and soon realize that they are not pestered by problems, but secrets they had to bear throughout their lives. It is based on common stereotypes in our society. The play was a success and we decided to make the next step. The true love for most of us is film.

Story behind the project:

During the play, Drago started writing the script for his first full-length feature film. He has written a few scripts before, but with the strong support of his newly gained friends, he decided it was time to realize the whole project. The thing that made everyone so passionate about the project was not just the story and the way it was told, but also the fact that every single person can somehow relate to it. All of us strongly believe that the message it carries can make a difference in a way of creating a more open, compassionate and tolerant society towards one another.

The film talks about three people with different backgrounds who find themselves on some rooftop in the middle of nowhere. They don’t know each other nor do they know how they ended up there. They do, however, know the fourth person on the roof - Vili, a disabled homeless person with whom they were all friends before.

They start remembering their past through flashbacks in hope of understanding what got them to that place. Each of them struggled through the obstacles that society and life itself threw at them.

Sanja, an aspiring actress, works as a waitress who is living with her abusive father. When she finally decides to audition for an academy of dramatic arts, her whole life turns upside down. Polona is an art student coming from a warm and bubbly home, but she suddenly faces a harsh reality and all the dilemmas that come by with living in the city. Dejan is a
priest, sworn to God, but nonetheless enchanted by the seductive charms of a young catholic girl.

When they finish telling their stories, they slowly start coming to a conclusion what may have sent them there, on that mysterious rooftop. Does Vili have an answer to their questions? Well, we don’t want to spoil the movie ending for you. We want you to enjoy it and come to your own conclusion. That’s what art is all about, right? :)

What we need:

We managed to shoot the whole movie and edit it, but there are still things that need to get done which we can’t do on our own. We need your help. The film needs color and audio correction, which we simply cannot afford and are not qualified enough to do ourselves.
