    Hungarian producer Denes Szekeres spoke with FNE, following completion of a 28-day shoot on the film.

    The Land of Wonders is produced by Serbia's InterFilm Zagreb, with lead producer Ivan Maloca (www.interfilm.hr), and the Hungary's Tivoli Film Productions (www.tivolifilms.com) under managing director Denes Szekeres.
