My name is Toni V. Genov, and I am a Bulgarian filmmaker based in Denmark. I’ve been making all kinds of videos since 2015, but this year I finally released my very first short film, 2088. And while the short film has been receiving amazing feedback, some might say that the story behind it is even more interesting.
The reason is that a few months ago I bought a cheap $15 toy camera and thought it would be a fun challenge to try and make a short film with it. No budget, no actors, no gear, just me and this little, tiny camera. But what started out as a joke ended up as a serious thriller/sci-fi project that people genuinely enjoyed. And the best part? It completely changed the way I think about filmmaking.
But before we get there, let’s first have a look at it.
