‘Cold War’ star Tomasz Kot cast in Robert Hloz’s ‘Restore Point’

In the 2038 Europe, death is no longer the end of your life. Detective Emma Trochinowska has to solve a murder-mystery where the only witness is one of the resurrected victims.

After stabilizing the first refugee crisis, followed by a number of terrorist attacks, all the citizens of the Free European Federation received a new constitutional law that guarantees “ONE WHOLE LIFE TO LIVE“.

Thanks to technology, everyone gets the right of recovery in case of unnatural death. All you need to do is to regularly create a “RESTORE POINT,” a backup where your memory is saved.

In this society “ABSOLUTE MURDER” is nearly impossible.

Polish actor Tomasz Kot, best known for his starring role in Pawel Pawlikowski’s Cold War, will star in Czech director Robert Hloz’s Restore Point.

The sci-fi detective project won the Screen International Best Pitch Award at Tallinn’s Baltic Event co-production market in 2017.

According to Hloz, Alfonso Cuarón’s dystopian sci-fi thriller Children Of Men was an inspiration for both screenwriter Tomislav Cecka and himself.

Hloz says Restore Point is embarking production, which is set for 2020. Final locations were secured in Slovakia late November. The project was part of Fantasia’s Frontières 2017.

The project is being structured as a co-production between Jan Kallista’s Czech production outfit Film Kolektiv, Rasto Sestak of Slovakia’s D.N.A. Production and Stanislaw Dziedzic of Poland’s Filmprodukcja.

SAAQ VR Car Crash and the Holidays

While a year has gone by since Patrick Boivin directed this VR piece for the SAAQ, the message still holds true. Quite true. Think twice before taking the wheel during the holidays.

LG2 and BLVD are behind the successful campaign that toured schools across the province using headsets to heighten awareness about the risks of driving under the influence.

Valerie Barnhart & Woolf+Lapin Pair UP

Girl in the Hallway is the winner of the 2019 Vimeo Staff Pick Award at the 2019 Ottawa International Animation Festival.

Why does ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ give Jamie nightmares? It’s been 15 years, and the girl in the hallway haunts him still. This is a testament to locked doors.

A lullaby sung by wolves with duct tape and polaroids. Not all girls make it out of the forest. Some stories children shouldn’t hear.

We are thrilled to be working with Valerie, especially her next project which is a mixed-technique, dramatic feature.
