DIRECTOR: Robert Hackett - Komana: 'Shrine' from Undercranked on Vimeo.
It has been amazing to work with such a talented bunch on this film. We feel the KOMANA mood and inspirations - Surrealism, Dada, African Vintage Art and Victorian circus - really came to life in this bold, black and white piece.
With big thanks to the director Robert Hackett, Undercranked Media Productions, lead accress Zoë Grisedale, Meriel Hunt Set Designer, DOP Mark Warmington and everyone else involved!!
