„Status Quo“ is our master graduation project.
The most important knowledges that I got during the long period of working on this short film: how and when to listen to other people and their ideas, how to make decisions, how to organise working process in a big team, how to make a compromise in co-working, how to communicate with actors and surely how not to lose creativity on this long way to result.
