Suk and Sukova, still shooting some segments in autumn, will have spent 40 days with four protagonists living their dreams for one day, all the author's neighbors, with fantasy lives that cover orchestra conductor, playmate, stage actor and vanished poet. The film is inspired by motifs from the poem Journey to the End of the Route, by Josip Sever, which explores the importance of the path as a goal in its own right.
The End of Light (Kraj svjetla) is produced by the writer-director team through their company Ukus (www.ukus.tv), and is supported by the Croatian Audiovisual Centre (havc.hr) and the city of Rijeka's department of culture. They have 60 percent of their budget of approximately 120,000 EUR secured, Aleš Suk told FNE. Pre-sales negotiations are underway.
With fest and European co-producer interest growing, the filmmakers are shooting for an 80-90 minute theatrical release only, but they could cut a shorter TV version. Suk also serves as DoP and editor. No international sales are yet signed.
