Interview | I’ll Tell You When You’re Older
A father contemplates his many regrets when his son discovers a lie fundamental to their entire relationship. Directed by Andy Epsilantis. 1 - How did the initial idea for the film come about?

Interview | Dream Café
Dream Café Short Film By Dasha Khritankova 1 - Tell us about your first film “Dream Café”. How did you get the idea to make this film? Around the time when I began writing “Dream Café”, I found myself and many of my friends going through a similar struggle - we all were working so hard to achieve our goals, that there simply was no room for balance between career and other aspects of live (personal relationships, friends and family, hobbies, etc.) Originally, when I found myself in this situation, I thought this problem is only something that artists encounter, because of the
