Project
Jan Amor will be the Director for the Hackathon short.
The Hackathon residency was a unique and unforgettable experience. Sharing 24 hours a day with such a special and disperse group of artists, with the aim of making a short film with a very fast turnaround time, was a true gift, both at a human and creative level. Between sudden changes in weather and the logistical challenges inherent to such an intense shoot, we developed our ability to react, adapt and improvise, leveraging the available resources and the tireless passion of an incredible and very cohesive team. I am happy with the result, but above all, with the family we created!
