“We dreamed of this day with all my friends who took part in the film during the pandemic process. We have been working on the projects we will do since the day we got together. As soon as we got the news of the competition, we took action as a team. After finishing the preliminary work and the shooting script in a very short time, we started shooting. The process was very enjoyable for us. Everyone in the team worked at a high tempo and put their all into it. After the shooting was over, we started working on visual effects and sound effects. After the editing of the film was finished, we sent it to the competition. It was a very exciting wait for us. After receiving the news of the first prize, we were very happy to have such success from the first project as a team and became our source of motivation for our future projects. We would like to thank our school and our teachers for their support in this process.”
