Since films and videos are our passion, it was easy to say yes, when I was asked whether we should make it happen or not: the very first Kino Kabaret in Budapest!
Within a few days after accepting the challenge (and before a partial break in San Diego), we dedicated some special time to create a nice homepage, and make Budapest a part of the Kino Kabaret network: a fantastic world wide network of like-minded people, participating in our filmmaking workshops, and contributing to independent film all over the world.

The high-energy workshop went great, with little time for proper sleep: the participants had to pitch their work, and had three days from storyboard to finding the proper talent and do the directing, shooting, editing and post production of their work - with one goal: proudly see the result screened in one of Budapest's most popular alternative cinemas: Bem mozi.
Besides all the fun with the homepage and the Facebook campaigns to get good people on board, we also didn't forget to show Europe some Asian power, and sponsor a special guest directly from Asia (who almost couldn't make it, so we had to convince her). Phoebe Jaspe is one of Asia's aspiring young talents, who accomplished quite a lot for her young age already as an actor, director and indie filmmaker. She definitely added some color and spice to the already very colorful team. See some of her videos and acting work here: https://vimeo.com/phoebejaspe Pimping up her reel with some drone footage and parkour and stunts in (to say the least) unusual historical settings of the Buda castle. It was a pleasure to have her with us, and we we hope to see her back soon on either continent, and wish her good luck in the meanwhile. |
