from WILDsound: The Film Podcast · host Matthew Toffolo
Don’t forget to smile, 8min., North Macedonia Teacher that’s teaching kids to smile in a post a dystopic school. Get to know filmmaker David Dulev: What motivated you to make this film? The initial motivation for this movie was the fact that i needed to graduate college and a short film was part of the final exam, that aside i felt like i wanted to give my thoughts on the pandemic and human emotions in general and i got lucky that my friend Onur had a script with that idea already built. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? Technically 3 and a half years since the first time i heard the idea, although a solid one and a half year was idle spent just thinking about it because of both me and Onur being busy with work, after that we discussed possible ideas for the final script for a couple of months and finally brought up the idea withthe rest of the crew. After a few more months in pre production we were finally ready to shoot. How would you describe your film in two words!?
