Shooting Friends Below Zero

A 30 min documentary about the conditions of the making of The Boys. An extended look of the guerrilla filmmaking process in a country like Greece.

Comprised with the burning ego of the clashing cultures of the North (Danish, Norwegian), the Mid-European (Polish, Chech) and the South (Greek, Italian), this visual journal recounts the trips and tribulations of an exhilarating and exhausting pre-production, a very dramatic shoot and an even more dramatic post-production (involving a new culture of its own - the British!).

How do so many volunteers, some of them paying their own money to fly down to Greece to take part in an unknown production by a first time director, cope being faced with heat waves, bug infection, dehydration, shortage of water, feisty neighbours, lack of sleep and language barrier? What keeps them together, united in that small cottage by the sea, fighting to be understood and appreciated, inventing ways to cope and carry on? What happened 2 years later? 5 years later? 7 years later?

Are they still talking to each other? Have they ever?
