OUR FIRST HIT

Three best friends have a plan. It's their first attempt to achieve a long-dreamt common goal and the last chance to preserve their friendship.

This short fiction is created entirely through improvisation. Three actresses, Melody Martišković, Lucia Luque Akrap, and Nikolina Prkačin, spent a month and a half exploring the world of graffiti artists with director Sara Grgurić. They met graffiti artists in Zagreb, hung out with them, created their graffiti nicknames and writing style, learned how to do graffiti by themselves, and as a result, filmed a short fiction using various improvisations.
