Producer Jiri Konecny told FNE that the Czech-Slovenian coproduction was budgeted at under 200,000 euros. The film completed shooting in May 2011.
The story follows the adventures of two adolescent boys on the first day of the New Year, when they meet their school teacher and her two male friends, ending up in her flat where the youngsters are initiated into adulthood. The director frames it as "an allegory," and Konecny notes it is "a youth film, but about adult issues." The debut feature film is the graduation work of Omerzu, who studied at Prague's renowned FAMU film school, with a crew composed primarily of unpaid students.
A Night Too Young is produced by Konecny's company endorfilm (www.endorfilm.cz) and coproduced by Ondrej Sejnoha for Studio FAMU (www.famu.cz) and Slovenian producer Franci Zajc of Ars Media (arsmedia.si).
The script was written by Bruno Hajek, Jakub Felcman, and Omerzu, after a story by Hajek.
