Tree Film Productions to Cannes Day 1

Day 1: Amsterdam

The first day of our journey to Cannes Film Festival started in Amsterdam. Gathering promotion material for our films like; Tree Film Production logo stickers, flyers and an authentic Dutch candy was one of our final things to do.

In the evening we had a meeting with Piet Brands, the mean character of the film Hendrik, who accidentally was in Amsterdam the same time as Tree Film Productions.

Tree Film Production asked him how he experienced playing Hendrik. Playing the role for a Dutch farmer who never left the province village was both easy and difficult. Piet grew up in a farming family, so this part of Hendrik came close to his own personality. But imagine never leaving a village was difficult, as he traveled a lot before moving to Prague.

Piet was very happy and exited to meet us in Amsterdam after hearing the film he participated is selected for Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner. He hopes this film will catch the eye of some potential buyers of TVchannels and producers. He thinks this is an opportunity for Tree Film Productions to move to a next level and takes its place in the movie business. He wishes TFP  good luck.

We left Piet in Amsterdam to continue our journey to Lyon and our final destination, Cannes.

Teaser for the new short film “Colour”

The work on the script of the short film “Colour” is at the final stage. So we are publishing a short teaser:

1796. Small Kingdom of Bohemia lies between Holy Roman and Austrian Empires and is torn apart by the nationalistic movement and foreign oppression.

Thousands of leaflets spread throughout the country contain the caricatures of Austrian rulers, especially the young and arrogant count van Straussbergen.

But a few know that the caricatures are actually made by a famous but poor bohemian still life painter Krystof Brzhezina, the master of astonishing bright colors, rapid painting and immense resemblance to the originals.

Krystof himself is unaware of his popularity. Being a member of the nationalist movement he is living quietly in a small and dark studio where he keeps his still lifes, canvases, lacquers and paints.

Despite his modest way of living, the fame of Krystof’s masterpieces reaches the palace of van Straussbergen. Young count falls for the unusual brightness of the paint and now wants to have a portrait done by Krystof overnight. He offers the painter a purse of gold for the portrait or he will take the painter’s life.

And so Krystof is left alone with a choice to make: either he obeys the count and betrays the nationalists and the leader of the movement - his friend Marek - or he loses his life to become a bohemian hero.
